The problem after a war is with the victor. He thinks he has just proved that war and violence pay. Who will now teach him a lesson?
War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life.
No war is inevitable until it breaks out.
My God! My God! What will the country say?
We may be annihilated, but we cannot be conquered.
Companies arenâ€™t families. Theyâ€™re battlefields in a civil war.
I, a stranger and afraid, in a world I never made.
I am happy that I have entertained people and made them happy.
I cannot be made into the commentator for the unspoken black masses.
You tempt me. I canâ€™t be tempted. Iâ€™m not made to be tempted.
