War Quotes Quotes

“They want us to be afraid.
They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes.
They want us to barricade our doors
and hide our children.
Their aim is to make us fear life itself!
They want us to hate.
They want us to hate 'the other'.
They want us to practice aggression
and perfect antagonism.
Their aim is to divide us all!
They want us to be inhuman.
They want us to throw out our kindness.
They want us to bury our love
and burn our hope.
Their aim is to take all our light!
They think their bricked walls
will separate us.
They think their damned bombs
will defeat us.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that my soul and your soul are old friends.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that when they cut you I bleed.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that we will never be afraid,
we will never hate
and we will never be silent
for life is ours!”
― Kamand Kojouri

“We place such a crushing burden on knights,” I said. “We tell them they’re supposed to be heroes, defenders of the realm, people of superior character. Then we send them into a slaughter and force them to butcher. They experience fear. They exist in constant vigilance, always ready to fight for their lives. It exhausts their body and soul. They watch their friends bleed out and die, and they have no time to grieve. Nobody warns them about this. Nobody sings songs about a young man trying to push his guts back into his stomach, or being so scared that the world turns dark, or being knocked off your horse and drowning in a muddy field in heavy armor while riders stomp on your back.” The two men in front of me were very still. “We do this to them and then we expect them to return to a peaceful life as if nothing happened. Some of them get a taste for the killing and can’t let it go. Some of them learn to distance themselves from their war selves. Others, like Pelegrin, need help and time.”
― Ilona Andrews, This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

― Mehmet Murat ildan

“If humankind were to fight each other every day for a thousand years, could they finally grasp the absolute importance of peace and end wars forever? No, because peace, tranquillity, and friendship are pleasant to humans for a while, like daylight, but then humankind will again desire night, unrest, enmity, and war! And then, once more, they will desire daylight! There's a pendulum swinging back and forth here!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“If it saves lives, a dishonourable defeat in war is an honourable act! Where people die, there is no honour, no victory, no winning!

― Mehmet Murat ildan

“If two evils are fighting each other, would you want one of them to win? No, you would want both of them to be defeated!”

“The hunger for power has made them cruel
They shed humanity and shed every rule
They bow to the devil, deny what is just
Scatter the innocent and trample to dust

They speak of peace, yet sharpen their steel,
Call the weak "Third World" and aim to kill.
Freedom of speech they loudly preach,
But wealth and greed are their true reach.

They silence the voices that rise against them,
Behind angelic masks, hearts are dark, damn.

They say that weapons were hidden deep,
A kind of danger that will never sleep.
So armies marched on innocent lands,
And crushed the weak with ruthless hands.

No one knows
how many were trampled under boot,
Girls stripped in the street, women stomped under foot

Blood flowed like rivers, streets ran red,
Children were orphaned, shattered, and dead.

Iraq burned beneath an open sky,
Thousands of mothers learned to cry

Greed for oil brought them to this land,
Lust for wealth left cruelty with no end.

That wasn't enough; they targeted many more,
From Vietnam to Kabul, from Libya to Lebanon's shore.
Across Africa, so many places even heaven's door
Bombs rained on innocents, victims of war.

In halls of power, the deals were made,
Morals and mercy began to fade.
Oil and gas, silver and gold,
Every treasure they tried to hold.

They dream of splitting Russia into parts,
To rule the West and Asia through dark arts.

They tore the USSR apart,
Spread poison into the heart.

Hard to see the rise of another nation,
So they spread chaos, and call it "liberation.

They whispered to Ukraine promises and favors,
And scripted a war between two neighbors.

Their principles nailed upon the cross,
Forgetting what Jesus' crucifixion cost.

With thirst for blood, wealth, and dominion,
Two ancient foes at last in union.

Some came to Palestine as exiles,
Scorned by time and European trials.
Slowly, shrewdly, they grabbed the land.
Palestine seized in ugly bloody hand.

Those who once gave shelter and bread
Now mourn the countless children dead.

Hind Rajab is not alone in their cruelty,
Countless children lost to that same brutality.

They build their dreamworld
on Palestinians' cries,
On broken homes and silenced lives.
A kingdom rising from despair,
While justice fades into thin air.

United Nations, blind before oppression,
Deaf to the cries born of aggression.
A helpless puppet in a ruthless game,
Baking its bread on bodies in flame.

They call themselves peacekeepers,
The biggest lie the world ever hears.
They built NATO
Just to threaten the world with fears.

Fear of Russia they loudly proclaim,
To trap Europe was their real aim.

Nations trapped in a game of fear
Believing the lies they choose to hear.

But behind the shield they offered,
Another plan was laid.
Their lands slowly turned into bases
Where foreign armies stayed.

Whispers rise around Iran again,
All know what hidden aims remain.

In the name of women’s freedom,
They claim to fight,
Yet countless schoolgirls paid the cost,
The school was bombed, was that right?

For them, no law, no rule holds sway
They're street thugs who take and walk away

The White House sends black deeds forth,
No matter how many die, victory is worth.
Cafe Ground Zero cooks recipe of vision
with no shame, they celebrate every invasion

Beneath the greed and false flag,
Old wars returned in a new hashtag.

This nation, ruined and ruled by
the power hungry and cruel,
Dreams to lead the world while breaking every rule.
The hunger for power has made them cruel,
they shed humanity and rewrite every rule.”
― Mohammed Zaki Ansari, "Zaki's Gift Of Love"

“All wars are bad, but the worst war is when the bad guys stay in power after the war is over!”
