"Warfare is almost as old as man himself, and reaches into the most secret places of the human heart, places where self dissolves rational purpose, where pride reigns, where emotion is paramount, where instinct is king."

John Keegan, History of Warfare

“War is the spectacular and bloody projection of our everyday life.” Jiddu Krishnamurti

"The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence under no circumstances can it be neglected." Sun Tzu, The Art of War
