Charles Eliot Norton: The voice of protest... is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum... is bidding all men... obey in silence the tyrannous word of command.
George Orwell: Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. War is peace.
Harry Patch, Last surviving WWI soldier: War is organized murder, and nothing else.
Alexander Pope: O peace! how many wars were waged in thy name.
Ayn Rand: Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity is good motives.
Jeannette Rankin: You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
Bertrand Russell: War does not determine who is right, only who is left.
Antoine De Saint-Exupery: War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Butler Shaffer: In this war - as in others - I am less interested in honoring the dead than in preventing the dead.
Bruce Springsteen: Blind faith in your leaders or in anything will get you killed.
President Donald J. Trump: From the first day I entered the political arena, I made it clear that I did not want to fight these endless, senseless wars.
Charles V of France: Name me an emperor who was ever struck by a cannonball.
Howard Zinn: We need to decide that we will not go to war, whatever reason is conjured up by the politicians or the media, because war in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children.
