About This Quote
The idea of this quote is that we cannot fight the war and then go back to living our lives as we wish. To survive, we must use all of our energy and attention on the war. We cannot take a step back and then try to make peace with what we have lost. We must attack and destroy all of the enemy’s forces right now, or else the war will never be over.
