“Listen up—there's no war that will end all wars . . . War breeds war. Lapping up the blood shed by violence, feeding on wounded flesh. War is a perfect, self-contained being. You need to know that.”— Haruki Murakami, amazon.com
“Why do people wage war? Why do hundreds of thousands, even millions of people group together and try to annihilate each other? Do people start wars out of anger? Or fear? Or are anger and fear just two aspects of the same spirit?”— Haruki Murakami, amazon.com
