“My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity.”– Wilfred Owen Related Quotes “Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.”– Charles Lamb “Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.”– Baruch Spinoza “Every writer has his writing technique – what he can and can’t do to describe something like war or history. I’m not good at writing about those things, but I try because I feel it is necessary to write that kind of thing.”– Haruki Murakami
