"War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus." ― Antoine de Saint-Exupery Topic(s): War More From Antoine de Saint-Exupery "Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are." "I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man’s self-respect is a sin." "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." More In War "To deal with the true causes of war one must begin by recognizing as of prime relevancy to the solution of the problem the familiar fact that civilization is a partial, incomplete, and, to a great extent, superficial modification of barbarism."― Elihu Root "Political satire became obsolete when they awarded Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize."― Tom Lehrer "A man will go to war, fight and die for his country. But he won’t get a bikini wax."― Rita Rudner
