Getting emotional about things is a peacetime luxury. In wartime, it’s much too painful  (Peacetime Quotes) Getting emotional about things is a peacetime luxury. In wartime, it’s much too painful.  (Peacetime Quotes) I was in a peacetime army. It was like something out of a Le Carre novel: studying the habits of your enemy. It was very exciting. It’s interesting living life as a civilian, then on Friday night you’re parachuting into a foreign country.  (Peacetime Quotes) Prayer in a combat zone serves exactly the same purpose as it does in peacetime. In war, the stakes are life and death, true; but if you believe in God and in the notion of a human soul, then we are always making decisions of tremendous significance.  (Peacetime Quotes) I don’t think I would have written a combat novel if I had just had peacetime military training. I think, in fact, I probably would have remained a poet and just written a short story every now and then.  (Peacetime Quotes) The Cold War provided justification for a larger peacetime military, since we were never really at peace, or so the argument went.  (Peacetime Quotes) General Atomics, the progenitor of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, started life in 1955 when a major military contractor, General Dynamics, feared that the military hardware market might dry up. It began exploring peacetime uses of atomic energy, but abandoned the effort when cold-war military spending took off.  (Peacetime Quotes) In recent years, academics, policy-makers, and experts have raised the question of the applicability of peacetime environmental law in times of armed conflict.  (Peacetime Quotes) The conditions which now exist in Germany make it impossible for industrial production to reach the levels which the occupying powers agreed were essential for a minimum German peacetime economy  (Peacetime Quotes) Indiscriminate attacks on civilians ought, under all circumstances, to be illegal in war as in peacetime  (Peacetime Quotes) In peacetime some sort of introduction is generally required to make a person's acquaintance; in war a small eatable will perform the same office  (Peacetime Quotes) ... It is time for blacks to begin the shift from a wartime to a peacetime identity, from fighting for opportunity to the seizing of it  (Peacetime Quotes) People are fond of using military terms to describe what they do. We call it bombing when we go out painting, when of course it’s more like entertaining the troops in a neutral zone, during peacetime in a country without an army  (Peacetime Quotes) It may be useful to remember that a peacetime political machine is built essentially on patronage  (Peacetime Quotes) A lawsuit is to ordinary life what war is to peacetime. In a lawsuit, everybody on the other side is bad. A trial transcript is a discourse in malevolence  (Peacetime Quotes) Officers conditioned to conformity in peacetime cannot be expected to behave boldly and flexibly in combat  (Peacetime Quotes) No, ordinary behaviour. The efficient half eats the less efficient half and grows stronger. War is just a violent way of doing what half the people do calmly in peacetime: using the other half for food, heat, machinery and sexual pleasure. Man is the pie that bakes and eats himself, and the recipe is separation  (Peacetime Quotes) The man who gets drunk in peacetime is a coward. The man who gets drunk in wartime goes on being a coward  (Peacetime Quotes) 'Thousands of people are being buried and no one attends the funerals,' said one of the soldiers. 'in peacetime it's the other way round: one coffin and a hundred people carrying flowers.'  (Peacetime Quotes)
