“It’s hard to hear over the racket of gunfire. Politicians want to talk about war, but the people want to talk about peace.”
“I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.”
“I didn't want to hear about death. It was all anyone talked about, even when no one was actually talking about it.”
“War's a racket. No doubt. But war is a racket for the politicians, not the soldiers.”
“What do people want? Well, you really can’t talk about wants until you talk about needs.”
“I wanted to ask which war---the Boer or the Crimean? It was amazing how old people could talk about The War, as though that meant something.”
