War Tolstoy Quotes

I had amazing intellectual privilege as a kid. My mom taught me to read when I was two or three. When I was five, I read and wrote well enough to do my nine-year older brother’s homework in exchange for chocolate or cigarettes. By the time I was 10, I was reading Orwell, Tolstoy’s ‘War and Peace,’ and the Koran. I was reading comic books, too Picture Quote #1

War on the other hand is such a terrible thing, that no man, especially a Christian man, has the right to assume the responsibility of starting it Picture Quote #1

War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves Picture Quote #1
