Quotes by J.B. North (?)

“There are people who want war. There are foolish boys who say they're not afraid of it, that they could hold their own in a fight. But war isn't just a fight. There is blood and death everywhere. There is pain and dying screams. There are loved ones that you lose. War is horrifying.”
― J.B. North, Icebound
