10,941 Quotes About War

All conflict in the world is essentially about our differences in measurement.

In the beginning war looks and feels like love. But unlike love it gives nothing in return but an ever-deepening dependence, like all narcotics, on the road to self-destruction. It does not affirm but places upon us greater and greater demands. It destroys the outside world until it is hard to live outside war's grip. It takes a higher and higher dose to achieve any thrill. Finally, one ingests war only to remain numb.

Sometimes I wonder if life was wasted on me.

I believe that the most tragic war of our time is the one within—a war between what we knew as children and what we’ve learned as adults. A war between wisdom and intelligence. A war between the natural colour of our hair and the colour we chemically impose upon it. A war between the manicured hedges and the untouched wilderness. A war between reality and fairy tales. A war between what we could learn about the world and what we are systematically taught. A war that can end in peace.

The whole world's safety depends on the words of two men who are enemies.

See what's inside a drop of water. The whole seed of the universe. Come, come. See what's inside a drop of blood. The composition of life. It's all there. Hate as well. We approach the mystery of life, but it's impossible to understand the mystery of hate. The kind of hate that causes people not only to kill, but to want to erase you from the census of births. I have to concentrate on that mystery. Read everything there is. It has to be in a drop of blood. It has to have its chemistry.

Nobody should give advice you on who to hate and who to love. That you learn on your own. You will know without being told. If someone advices you on that. Then they are lying to you, because they are telling you their experiences and on how they feel inside. It has nothing to do with you and on how you feel inside.

No one lives long in a war.

It is summer everywhere, except war. War, where it used to be home,and now, war by government, here.
