"Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so." ― Fredrik Bajer Topic(s): Peace More From Fredrik Bajer "There are those who believe we have need of more literature, of a large international publishing house, of a great peace newspaper, or the like. I am rather skeptical about this idea." "Indeed; peace literature is almost exclusively read, though to good effect, by pacifists, while what is needed is the canvassing of those who have not so far been won to the cause." "There is one criticism which cannot be leveled at interparliamentary conferences but which is applicable to a great extent to peace congresses: the meetings waste time." More In Peace "There is something at work that’s bigger than us. It’s about having a trust in life and being at peace that things are happening the way they should. You do what you do as well as you can do it, and then you don’t worry or agonize about the outcome."― Sherilyn Fenn "We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds."― Anton Chekhov "God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger."― Heraclitus
