We have no great war. No great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives.
— There's no one left to fight, sire.
— There is always someone left to fight.
Any fool can be brave on a battle field when it's be brave or else be killed.
Warfare is nothing but a means of negotiation between states. Wars break out even when there is no hatred. Territory, resources, or interests that you are determined to own. Ideology, religion, pride. Wars are fought over those objectives all the time. Meaning that when those objectives are met, the war will end. That, or the war will end when the human cost outweighs the gains.
— Do you, at this time, have any fear of returning to your own country?
— No.
— OK. Let me try it again. Your country's at war. There are men in the streets with guns. Political persecution.
— Yes. It's terrible.
— Yeah, it's horrible. And God only knows what could happen. Innocent people are torn from their beds.
— On Tuesdays. I hate Tuesdays.
— So you're afraid?
— From what?
— Krakozhia. You're afraid of Krakozhia.
— Krakozhia? No, I am not afraid from Krakozhia. I'm a little afraid of this room.
— I'm talking about bombs. I'm talking about human dignity. Human rights. Viktor, please don't be afraid to tell me you're afraid of Krakozhia.
— Is home. I am not afraid from my home.
There are no easy choices in war.
Wow! The battle looks completely different when you're in the middle of it than it does to the generals up on the hill.
When fighting under the native sky, force trebles.
Wars never end. People fight for power, desire, possession and protection.
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.
