Loss In War Quotes

The loss of reason in war seems to me honorable, like the death of a sentry at his post Picture Quote #1

Of course, I also attribute some of my hearing loss to being in the infantry in World War II. It’s probably a combination of heredity and noise exposure Picture Quote #1

Someday, I have no doubt, the dead from today’s wars will be seen with a similar sense of sorrow at needless loss and folly as those millions of men who lie in the cemeteries of France and Belgium - and tens of millions of Americans will feel a similar revulsion for the politicians and generals who were so spendthrift with others’ lives Picture Quote #1

I read everything that Tolkien wrote, and also read biographies of him. I was fascinated by his experiences in World War I, which includes the loss of life of some of his very, very close friends. I think he writes about that a lot in ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ Picture Quote #1

The estimated loss of up to six million dead is founded too much on both emotional, biased testimonies and on exaggerated data in the postwar reckonings of war crimes and on the squaring of accounts with the defeated Picture Quote #1

I believe that everyone can appreciate the right of a family to grieve the loss of a loved one in peace, regardless of anyone’s position on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan Picture Quote #1

My father died of brain cancer in 1991. I do not know anyone whose life has not been touched by the loss of a loved one to cancer. I wrote my book ‘Gracefully Gone’ about my father’s fight and my struggle growing up with an ill parent. I wrote it to help others know they are not alone in this all-too-often insurmountable war against cancer Picture Quote #1

During World War II, the pilot losses were staggering. In some bombing raids, as many as 80% of the planes that left did not return Picture Quote #1

We cannot but feel uneasy about the losses caused by humanity themselves. Apart from the losses of life and property in destructive wars, the environment and natural resources are also being destroyed by human hands Picture Quote #1

Historians still often see the end of the war as meaning nothing more for Germany than lost territories, lost participation in colonization, and lost assets for the state and individuals. They frequently overlook the most serious loss that Germany suffered Picture Quote #1

I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child, as an eight- or nine-year-old, asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels, and I would say ‘What does that mean?’ Picture Quote #1

Loss of hope rather than loss of life is what decides the issues of war. But helplessness induces hopelessness Picture Quote #1

War kills men, and men deplore the loss; but war also crushes bad principles and tyrants, and so saves societies Picture Quote #1

The alternative to peace is war, which will expose everyone to mass casualties, misery and a loss of perspective for many years to come Picture Quote #1

No one wins a war. It is true, there are degrees of loss, but no one wins Picture Quote #1

The horrors of war, pale beside the loss of a mother Picture Quote #1

War is a racket. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives Picture Quote #1
