About This Quote
War does not answer war, war does not finish war. The only ending is peace. The quote suggests that there are no winners or losers in war. There are only victims and witnesses.
There are only the ones who live through it and those who die. The quotation implies that there can be no true victors in wars, no matter how violent or unforgiving they may be. This sentiment is supported by the fact that even countries that have been at war for years still remain at war.
They may fight each other with military might, but they do not defeat each other because of it.
