- Ernest Hemingway

About this Quote

This quote by Ernest Hemingway is a pointer that war, no matter how needed or justified, is still a criminal offense. War is a destructive force that can trigger tremendous suffering and death. It is necessary to bear in mind that war is not an option to all issues which it need to be avoided if possible. War ought to just be used as a last option when all other alternatives have actually been tired. Even when war is necessary, it ought to not be ignored and its consequences should be thought about. War needs to never be glorified or celebrated, however rather remembered as a tragedy that ought to be prevented whenever possible.
