They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting
to die for one's country.
But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying.
You will die like a dog for no good reason.
- Ernest Hemmingway -
The pioneers of a warless world
are the youth that refuse military service.
-Albert Einstein -

History is always repeating itself,
but each time the price goes up.

“Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war
in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor.
It both emboldens the blood,
just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have
reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate
and the mind has closed,
the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry.
Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism,
will offer up all of their rights
unto the leader, and gladly so.”
- Julius Caesar -
