"The doctrine that war is always a greater evil seems to imply a materialist ethic, a belief that death and pain are the greatest evils. But I do not think they are...

That two soldiers on opposite sides, each believing his own country to be in the right, each at the moment when his selfishness is most in abeyance and his will to sacrifice in the ascendant, should kill [each] other in plain battle seems to me by no means one of the most terrible things in this terrible world."
"It was how wars really ended, Dieffenbaker supposed -- not at truce tables but in cancer wards and office cafeterias and traffic jams.

He hoped that in the end even war surrendered."

I think they can hear them, understand them, know about them, at a much younger age without being scared to death by the stories."

"Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs."
