About This Quote

War, as a concept, is a very odd thing. War is a horrifying thing, a thing of which we must never speak. But war is also a wonderful thing. It can inspire courage and creativity and art and thoughtfulness that would have otherwise been lost to the world.

It can bring people together. It can create heroes and heroines. In short, war can be used as a metaphor for life itself.

And the greatest irony of all is that war is, in some ways, the same as what it’s trying to prevent: mindless violence.
