What gunpowder did for war the printing press has done for the mind. – Wendell Phillips
I was brought up in the War. I was an adolescent in the Second World War. And I did witness in London a great deal of the Blitz. – Harold Pinter
War is not the answer, because only love can conquer hate. – Marvin Gaye
I have absolutely no regret about my vote against this war. The same questions remain. The cost in human lives, the cost to our budget, probably 100 billion. We could have probably brought down that statue for a lot less. – Nancy Pelosi
I took every chance I could to meet with U.S. soldiers. I talked with them and read the books they gave me about the war. I decided I needed to return to my country and join with them – active duty soldiers and Vietnam Veterans in particular – to try and end the war. – Jane Fonda
We are Americans when we go to war, and when we return, we are Mexicans. – Dennis Chavez
