"In war there is no prize for runner-up."

Seneca, Roman Philosopher

War, Statesman, Lucius Annaeus Seneca

"Look now -- in all of history men have been taught that killing of men is an evil thing not to be countenanced. Any man who kills must be destroyed because this is a great sin, maybe the worst we know. And then we take a soldier and put murder in his hands and we say to him, "use it well, use it wisely." We put no checks on him. Go out and kill as many of a certain kind or classification of your brothers as you can. And we will reward you for it because it is a violation of your early training."

John Steinbeck, American Author

War, Morality, Killing, Conflict

"There was murder, there was rape, there were unspeakable practices, and all of them were for the good, the bloody good, the bloody myth, for the grail, for the Tower."

Stephen King, American Author

"It was how wars really ended, Dieffenbaker supposed -- not at truce tables but in cancer wards and office cafeterias and traffic jams. Wars died one tiny piece at a time, each piece something that fell like a memory, each lost like an echo that fades in winding hills. In the end even war ran up the white flag. Or so he hoped. He hoped that in the end even war surrendered."

Stephen King, American Author

War, Regret, Today, Future

"But the pistol, this Walther...it was as if it had been made for the express purpose of shooting people. With a chill Richie realized that was why it had been made. What else could you do with a pistol? Use it to light your cigarettes?"

Stephen King, American Author

War, Weapon, Violence, Truth, Realization

"Once the command of the air is obtained by one of the contending armies, the war becomes a conflict between a seeing host and one that is blind."

H. G. Wells, English Author

"And now submarines are armed with mass murder, our silly, only way of deterring mass murder."
