John Steinbeck
All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.

Charles Lamb
Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.
Aung San Suu Kyi
My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.

Steven Spielberg
I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming 'War Horse' on Dartmoor.

Aung San Suu Kyi
War is not the only arena where peace is done to death.

Roseanne Barr
My hope is that gays will be running the world, because then there would be no war. Just a greater emphasis on military apparel.

Circumstances cause us to act the way we do. We should always bear this in mind before judging the actions of others. I realized this from the start during World War II.

I made 'Saving Private Ryan' for my father. He's the one who filled my head with war stories when I was growing up.

George Carlin
How is it possible to have a civil war?

Steven Spielberg
For the most part, everybody who fights in war fights to survive.

Martha Gellhorn
I followed the war wherever I could reach it.
Steven Spielberg
People often tell me how much they love the digital skies that we obviously painted for 'War Horse.' Well, there's not a single sky that we put in through special effects. The skies you see in the movie are the skies that we experienced - but it was definitely challenging at times.

Lewis Carroll
Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.

Albert Einstein
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.

Margaret Atwood
Before the Civil War, Canada was at the top of the underground railroad. If you made it into Canada, you were safe unless someone came and hauled you back. That was also true during the Vietnam War for draft resisters.

Steven Spielberg
I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero. The minute anybody presumes that they are heroes, they get their boots taken away from them and buried in the sand.

Tupac Shakur
They Have Money For War But Can't Feed The Poor.

Ernest Hemingway
They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
Steven Spielberg
In the re-creation of combat situations, and this is coming from a director who's never been in one, being mindful of what these veterans have actually gone through, you find that the biggest concern is that you don't look at war as a geopolitical endeavor.
Anderson Cooper
When you lose a parent at ten years old, the world seems like a much scarier place. It makes complete sense to me that I took survival courses when I was a teenager and started going to war zones as a reporter. I didn't ever want to be taken advantage of, and I wanted to be able to take care of those around me.
Johnny Cash
I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.

Steven Spielberg
I interviewed survivors, I went to Poland, saw the cities and spent time with the people and spoke to the Jews who had come back to Poland after the war and talked about why they had come back.
Martha Gellhorn
After the desperate years of their own war, after six years of repression inside Spain and six years of horror in exile, these people remain intact in spirit. They are armed with a transcendent faith; they have never won, and yet they have never accepted defeat.
Robert F. Kennedy
The leaders of the world face no greater task than that of avoiding nuclear war. While preserving the cause of freedom, we must seek abolition of war through programs of general and complete disarmament. The Test-Ban Treaty of 1963 represents a significant beginning in this immense undertaking.

Adolf Hitler
When diplomacy ends, War begins.

Steven Spielberg
When war comes, two things happen - profits go way, way up and all perishables go way, way down. There becomes a market for them.

Eleanor Roosevelt
No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.
Robert F. Kennedy
Our generation was born during the turmoil following the First World War. That war marked the dividing line - at least for the Western World - between the comfortable security of the 19th century and the instability and flux of our own time.
Thor Heyerdahl
Those who have experienced the most, have suffered so much that they have ceased to hate. Hate is more for those with a slightly guilty conscience, and who by chewing on old hate in times of peace wish to demonstrate how great they were during the war.

Charles Bukowski
Nobody can save you but yourself and you’re worth saving. it’s a war not easily won but if anything is worth winning then this is it.

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

Martha Gellhorn
I found out about the Spanish war because I was in Germany when it began.

Woody Allen
I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.

Mike Pence
We've seen an economy stifled by more taxes, more regulation, a war on coal and a failing health care reform come to be known as Obamacare and the American people know that we need to make a change.

Tupac Shakur
Everybody’s at war with different things…I’m at war with my own heart sometimes.

Khaled Hosseini
War doesn't negate decency. It demands it, even more than in times of peace." - Baba

Germaine Greer
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.

John Ford
I didn't show up at the ceremony to collect any of my first three Oscars. Once I went fishing, another time there was a war on, and on another occasion, I remember, I was suddenly taken drunk.

Madeleine Albright
The U.N. bureaucracy has grown to elephantine proportions. Now that the Cold War is over, we are asking that elephant to do gymnastics.

Sun Tzu
The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.

Joseph Heller
It doesn't make a damned bit of difference who wins the war to someone who's dead.

Steven Spielberg
For one thing, I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero.

Madeleine Albright
I know that war is very cruel and that life is harder when you aren't able to live in the place you called home.

Elton John
We live in an age, in an era where there is so much negativity, there is so much violence in the world, there is so much unrest and people are at war, that I wanted to promote the word love and red signifies love.

Martha Gellhorn
Then somebody suggested I should write about the war, and I said I didn't know anything about the war. I did not understand anything about it. I didn't see how I could write it.
Woody Guthrie
I would like to see every single soldier on every single side, just take off your helmet, unbuckle your kit, lay down your rifle, and set down at the side of some shady lane, and say, nope, I aint a gonna kill nobody. Plenty of rich folks wants to fight. Give them the guns.

Bill Hicks
I loved when Bush came out and said, 'We are losing the war against drugs.' You know what that implies? There's a war being fought, and the people on drugs are winning it.

Elton John
The world is near escalating to World War Three and where are the leaders of each religion? Why aren't they having a conclave; why aren't they coming together?

Aldous Huxley
Ironically enough, the only people who can hold up indefinitely under the stress of modern war are psychotics. Individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity.

Benjamin Franklin
There was never a bad peace or a good war.

John Steinbeck
I am happy to report that in the war between reality and romance, reality is not the stronger.

Mike Pence
The reality is the cap-and-trade legislation offered by the Democrats amounts to an economic declaration of war on the Midwest by liberals on Capitol Hill.

If Bush and Blair are eventually put on trial for war crimes, I shall not be among those pressing for them to be hanged.

Woody Guthrie

The Quiet American is anti the people who took them into the Vietnam War.

Donald Trump
In July of 2004, I came out strongly against the war with Iraq because it was going to destabilize the Middle East.

George Orwell
Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.

Madeleine Albright
I was a little girl in World War II and I'm used to being freed by Americans.

Sun Tzu
So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.
Robert E. Howard
When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in... Who will our invaders be? From whence will they come?

Richard Dawkins
Saddam Hussein could have provided irreplaceable help to future historians of the Iran/Iraq war, of the invasion of Kuwait, and of the subsequent era of sanctions culminating in the current invasion.

Germaine Greer
Never advise anyone to go to war or to get married. Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. He that has no children brings them up well.

Natalie Portman
'Star Wars' hasn't changed my life at all.

William Faulkner
War and drink are the two things man is never too poor to buy.

Mike Pence
I'm not sure that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama know that we're at war.

George W. Bush
This was not an act of terrorism, but it was an act of war.
Joseph Stalin
World War II was fought for the abolition of racial exclusiveness, equality of nations and the integrity of their territories, liberation of enslaved nations and restoration of their sovereign rights, the right of every nation to arrange its affairs as it wishes, economic aid to nations that have suffered and assistance to them in attaining their material welfare, restoration of democratic liberties, and destruction of the Hitlerite regime.

Thomas Hobbes
The condition of man... is a condition of war of everyone against everyone.

John Lennon
Make love, not war.

Benito Mussolini
War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.
Benito Mussolini
There is the great, silent, continuous struggle: the struggle between the State and the Individual; between the State which demands and the individual who attempts to evade such demands. Because the individual, left to himself, unless he be a saint or hero, always refuses to pay taxes, obey laws, or go to war.

Benito Mussolini
Three cheers for the war. Three cheers for Italy's war and three cheers for war in general. Peace is hence absurd or rather a pause in war.
