Guy de Maupassant quotes (2)

War! When I but think of this word I feel bewildered as though they were speaking to me of sorcery of the Inquisition of a distant finished abominable monstrous unnatural thing. When they speak to us of cannibals we smile proudly as we proclaim our superiority to these savages. Who are the real savages? Those who struggle in order to eat those whom they vanquish or those who struggle merely to kill?
Guy de Maupassant   Category: War

Every government has as much of a duty to avoid war as a ships captain has to avoid a shipwreck.
