The kingdom was already broken, and this war was tearing the broken pieces smaller."
"This is the reality of nuclear weapons: they may trigger a world war; a war which, unlike previous ones, destroys all of civilization."
"There isn't a viler creature on earth than a politician who sends the children of others to the war but not his own children!"
