“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower

“One fine day a predatory world shall consume itself.”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“I abhor the idea of a perfect world. It would bore me to tears.”
― Shelby Foote

“God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection.”
― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
