Voltaire
Francois-Marie Arouet
(1694-1778)
VOLTAIRE
"History is but the register
of human crimes and misfortunes."
"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless
they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."
Voltaire
"The higher animals engage in individual fights, but never in organized
masses. Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities,
War."
Mark Twain
"Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the
torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself."
James Anthony Froude
"On War"
by James Boswell
"How long war will continue to be practised,
we have no means of conjecturing. Civilization, which it might have
been expected would have abolished it, has only refined its savage
rudeness."
