About This Quote

There will always be another war, Gillia.” He allowed his cynicism to seep through. “Do you know why? Because there will always be bigots and cowards and power-mad devils in positions of omnipotence. Look around you. There has been war here since time began.

It’s nature. Animals kill each other for survival, for territory… and for the taste of blood in their mouths. Man is no different.

When we talk about the wars that we have fought thus far, we tend to focus on the ones that we lost rather than the ones we won. If we think about it, thousands upon thousands of people died in the name of our country’s freedoms and values when it should have been us who died for those same things. The truth is that there will always be war when people fight for dominance and when they cannot agree with each other on what is right and wrong.

That is why we must keep fighting and never give up because it is only by doing so that we can bring about a better world for ourselves and others.
