THE “SKIN” OF THIS SCULPTURE HAS
QUOTES ADDRESSING WAR
1. Margaret Atwood: War is what happens when language fails.
2. Joan Baez: If it’s natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
3. Cate Blanchette: In every war, there’s looting.
4. Omar Bradley: Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.
5. Simone de Beauvoir: All oppression creates a state of war.
6. Abigail Disney: I think if we understand the impact of war on women and children, we might be more careful about the wars we start.
7. Albert Einstein: I know not with what weapons WWIII will be fought, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.
8. Dwight D. Eisenhower: The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities… we pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people
9. Abraham Flexnero: Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education… no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make a choice; we cannot have both.
10. Benjamin Franklin: Wars are not paid for in wartime. The bill comes later.
11. David Friedman: The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem. It is generally employed only by small children and large nations.
12. John Kenneth Galbraith: War remains the decisive human failure.
13. Indira Gandhi: You can’t shake hands with a clenched fist.
14. Mahatma Gandhi: If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.
15. Barbara Kingsolver: Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It’s the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else’s pain is as meaningful as your own.
16. Martin Luther: War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.
17. Thomas Mann: War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
18. Maria Montessori: Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.
19. A. Phillip Randolph: Make wars unprofitable and you make them impossible.
21. Jeannette Rankin: You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
21. Arundhati Roy: Once weapons were manufactured to fight wars, now wars are manufactured to sell weapons.
22. Eleanor Roosevelt: I cannot believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war and no one will win the next war. Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide.
23. Franklin D. Roosevelt: Over 90% of all national deficits from 1921-1939 were caused by payments for past, present, and future wars.
24. Carl Sandberg: Sometimes they’ll give a war and nobody will come.
25. Coretta Scott King: If you use weapons of war to bring about peace, you’re going to have more war and destruction
26. Shel Silverstein: I will not play tug of war. I’d rather play hug of war, where everyone hugs instead of tugs, where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.
27. Ida Tarbell: The first and most imperative necessity in war is money for money means everything else – men, guns, ammunition.
28. William Tecumseh Sherman: I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is Hell.
29. Helen Thomas: War makes strange bedfellows.
30. Lily Tomlin: I guess if people couldn’t profit from war, i don’t think there would be
war.
31. Sun Tzu: The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
32. Malala Yousufzai: The best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue.
