“Wars are indeed fought by children, by young people who have little to say in where they are sent to die.”

“The greatest war every fought, and are still fighting, where more people have been defeated and died, is the war within.”

“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)”

“War is sweet to those who have never fought.”

“The war was about vanity, he said. It was about old men who couldn't look in the mirror anymore and so they sent the young out to die. Was was a get-together of the vain. They wanted it simple--hate your enemy, know nothing of him.”

“Where there are wars, where there are divided allegiances, where there are temptations to be resisted, objects of love to be fought for or defended--there, obviously, nobility and heroism have some sense.”
