“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.”
― Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Reference
― Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Reference
“There's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous.”
