"Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime." ― Ernest Hemingway Topic(s): War Tags: never, think More From Ernest Hemingway "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know." "The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green." "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." More In War "The Bible is a radically pro-slavery document. Slave owners waved Bibles over their heads in the Civil War and justified it."― Dan Savage "When I left to go into apprenticeship in 1949, it was only four years after the war, and people don’t realize, we still had tickets for butter, meat and so forth in France until 1947. It’s not like the end of the war, everything was plentiful – it wasn’t."― Jacques Pepin "There is an alternative to war. It has been with us forever."― Sargent Shriver
