“Wars are fought by teenagers, you realize that. They really ought to be fought by the politicians and old people who start these wars." (Interview with Don Swaim of CBS Radio-1986)”
“Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change.”
“War is sweet to those who have never fought.”
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
“Only a fool wants war, but once a war starts then it cannot be fought half-heartedly. It cannot even be fought with regret, but must be waged with a savage joy in defeating the enemy, and it is that savage joy that inspires our bards to write their greatest songs about love and war.”
“Wars are indeed fought by children, by young people who have little to say in where they are sent to die.”
