“You burn a man's pickup, and he's ready for war.”
“Maybe this is the way to come out of a war, he thinks. A burned man to care for, some sheets to wash in a fountain, a room painted like a garden.”
“I'd say she's ready, wouldn't you?"--The Rook, The Looking Glass Wars”
“Man invents war. Man discovers peace. He invents war from without. He discovers peace from within. War man throws. Peace man sows. The smile of war is the flood of human blood. The smile of peace is the love, below, above.”
“Fire is always ready to burn the hand it warms.”
“If a man has so much heat he burns your skin when he touches you, he's the devil. Run away”
