anti-war quotations: according to me WAR makes good humen in to beast. --Arun Kurkute. “I no longer feel allegiance to these monsters called human beings, despise being one myself. I think that Peeta was onto something about us destroying one another and letting some decent species take over. Because something is significantly wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children’s lives to settle its differences. You can spin it any way you like. Snow thought the Hunger Games were an efficient means of control. Coin thought the parachutes would expedite the war. But in the end, who does it benefit? No one. The truth is, it benefits no one to live in a world where these things happen.” --Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay “There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.” --Albert Camus destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty or democracy?” --Mahatma Gandhi. “Listen up - theres no war that will end all wars.” --Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore “All war is a symptom of mans failure as a thinking animal.” --John Steinbeck. “Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve the worlds problems?” --Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes: Sunday Pages 1985-1995 “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” --Dwight D. Eisenhower. “There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.” ? Howard Zinn. “Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.” --Martin Luther King Jr. “Theres never been a true war that wasnt fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right.

Wells “But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony--Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?” --Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front “I dont care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I dont think even my country means all that much.

Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?” --Graham Greene, Our Man in Havana “War and drink are the two things man is never too poor to buy.” --William Faulkner “All wars are civil wars because all men are brothers...
