A Few Words From Alexander Woollcott

"War is born of greed and vanity and fear. It is nourished by hate and its end result is bitterness. We cannot glorify force and set men to killing each other and then by ordering the guns to cease firing--by merely blowing a whistle--expect them suddenly to act with sweet reasonableness."
--Alexander Woollcott (1887-1943), American critic and commentator
