About This Quote
Peace is often thought of as a good thing. We grow up hearing that “war is hell” and that “peace is better than war.” And, while those are all true, peace is not always the best choice. Peace isn't the answer to everything. A bad peace can be worse than war.
Peace can leave us feeling helpless and vulnerable. War leaves us feeling strong and ready to fight.
