“War always takes it upon itself, unsolicited, to find us an enemy. Even though I wanted to remain neutral, I couldn’t. I was born with this story. It ran in my blood. I belonged to it”

“Io penso anche che una visione del passato che si prefigga esplicitamente di eliminare ogni crisi, ogni declino, rappresenti un reale pericolo per il giorno d'oggi. La fine dell'Occidente romano vide orrori e disordini quali io spero sinceramente di non dover mai sperimentare, oltre a distruggere una complessa civiltà, facendo retrocedere gli abitanti dell'Occidente a un livello di vita tipico della preistoria. Prima della caduta di Roma, i Romani erano sicuri quanto lo siamo noi oggi che il loro mondo sarebbe continuato per sempre senza sostanziali mutamenti. Si sbagliavano. Noi saremmo saggi a non imitare la loro sicumera.”

“...a new force given to individual initiatives, a need to smash things up, to leap over fences, to break laws – all this, at the start, made the war acceptable. It was confused with freedom, and discipline was then accepted in the belief that it was lacking.”

“To die with honour, to die standing tall, to die for an ideology, to die for a cause—these are all foolish thoughts! The only honourable thing for every living person is to make every effort and develop every strategy to avoid dying, and never to kill!”

“…it’s peace, not war, that makes wealth for a country. War just transfers possession of the residue from the weaker to the stronger. Worse, what is bought with blood is sold for coin, and then stolen back again.”
