“Only the winners decide what were war crimes. ”

“Rules are for children. This is war, and in war the only crime is to lose.”

“We are mad, not only individually but nationally. We check manslaughter and isolated murders, but what of war and the much-vaunted crime of slaughtering whole peoples?”

“This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games. All games are basically hostile. Winners and losers. We see them all around us: the winners and the losers. The losers can oftentimes become winners, and the winners can very easily become losers. ”

“That's what war was. A great motion and then a great stillness in which the winner crouches and the loser lies facing the sky.”

“Faith is constantly at war with fear.When faith is the winner, there's peace.”
