“No one starts a war warning that those involved will lose their innocence - that children will definitely die and be forever lost as a result of the conflict; that the war will not end for generations and generations, even after cease-fires have been declared and peace treaties have been signed. No one starts a war that way, but they should. It would at least be fair warning and an honest admission: even a good war - if there is such a thing - will kill anyone old enough to die.”
― Alexandra Fulller

“There are things we know for certain."

"The sun's going to come up tomorrow morning."
"Why?"

― David Eddings, Belgarath the Sorcerer
