A war that has made us adore our conquerors and despise ourselves.

The casualties in the Civil War amount to more than all other wars - all other American wars combined.

It seems to me an utterly futile task to prescribe rules and limitations for the conduct of war. War is not a game; hence one cannot wage war by rules as one would in playing games.

If Donald Trump dismantles the agreement [the "Iran nuclear deal"] won by President Barack Obama with President Hassan Rouhani and the Iranian government and people: If he dismantles that, and puts greater sanctions on Iran, then we are leading to another war; another war inspired by Israel, another war that will bring China into war, Russia into war, Europe into war.

The World War I, I'm a child of World War I. And I really know about the children of war. Because both my parents were both badly damaged by the war.

War is a barbaric tool of the war profiteers and Empires who employ them.

... there was the first Balkan war and the second Balkan war and then there was the first world war.

This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification. Seen so, war is the truest form of divination.

War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence.War is god.
