John Steinbeck
“I'm tired of people who have not been at war who know all about it.”
John Steinbeck, The Moon Is Down

John Steinbeck
“They think that just because they have only one leader and one head, we are all like that. They know that ten heads lopped off will destroy them, but we are a free people; we have as many heads as we have people, and in a time of need leaders pop up among us like mushrooms.”
John Steinbeck, The Moon is Down

John Steinbeck
“Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. Herd men, followers of a leader, cannot do that, and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars.”
John Steinbeck, The Moon Is Down

John Steinbeck
“war is treachery and hatred, the muddling of incompetent generals, the torture and killing and sickness and tiredness, until at last it is over and nothing has changed except for new weariness and new hatreds.”
John Steinbeck, The Moon is Down

John Steinbeck
“That is a great mystery,” said Doctor Winter. “That is a mystery that has disturbed rulers all over the world—how the people know. It disturbs the invaders now, I am told, how news runs through censorships, how the truth of things fights free of control. It is a great mystery.”
John Steinbeck, The Moon is Down
