Antiwar Quotes Quotes

“Don't be surprised by the madness in the world; it has always been this way: On one side, a foolish little leader and his low-IQ fools who follow him, on the other, yet another foolish little leader and his low-IQ fools who follow him, and in between, completely innocent people who have nothing to do with it and suffer great harm and death!”

“There are big things to worry about and the issues like climate change, hunger, poverty, violence, biodiversity loss, unemployment, racism, and war are not going to be solved easily. But despite their grim predictions, I am hopeful. I am already seeing the light. A rustle of wind in the grass makes me dream.”

“You face a chaotic universe that could crush you like an ant, yet you waste your energy fighting your fellow creatures, and worse, you think you'll die and be resurrected! Look, my friend, the universe is your home; find a way to stay here permanently, develop your mind, and use that developed mind to save yourself, because you are the saviour! You can consider the universe a god, but the universe can only save you by offering you the means to save yourself through you!”

“War is like a vacuum cleaner that sucks tax dollars out of your pocket and funnels the money directly into the pockets of the robber barons who own the weapons factories.”

“The luckiest generation in a country is always the one which has never went through any war in their lifetimes!”

“A defense of the homeland must only be done with civil disobedience, which does not require the death of anyone! If the attacked country uses the methods of the attacking country and responds to violence with violence, it will commit a moral mistake. The red line is simple: Don't kill anyone, even your enemy, and if you can defeat your enemy with non-violent methods, the real victory is there!”

“When war begins somewhere, the attacking party is guilty; but if the war is going on, then both sides are guilty because when it comes to war the only thing that matters is that the killings stop immediately and if surrender is going to stop the killing then it has to be done! It is unacceptable for the present generations to die for the freedom of the next generations because to live is the right of every generation! Surrender is not defeat, you can surrender and continue the war with non-violent methods!”

“Deep down there is the feeling that what we participated in was morally wrong, and can never be looked upon as legitimate. We can make all kinds of excuses, but it can never justify the murder, the savagery and the barbarism that was inflicted on the Vietnamese people under the guise of saving the world from communism.”

“Vietnam was never a threat to America or Australia, but it was a threat to their perceived interests. For those selfish interests we fought and were maimed and died. It was not for patriotism, and not to save freedom or humanity: it was to save vested interests.”
