"I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace." ― Joseph Conrad Topic(s): Peace More From Joseph Conrad "The sea – this truth must be confessed – has no generosity. No display of manly qualities – courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness – has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power." "Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life." "History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird." More In Peace "We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds."― Anton Chekhov "Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations."― Yasser Arafat "In a case like Iraq the UN has again shown what important role it plays as the guarantor for protecting international peace and stability in the global political structure."― Anna Lindh
