"How this feels is I'm just another task in God's daily planner. The Renaissance penciled in for right after the Dark Ages. The Information Age is scheduled immediately after the Industrial Revolution. Then the Post-Modern Era, then the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine. Check. Pestilence. Check. War. Check. Death. Check. And between the big events, the earthquakes & tidal waves, God's got me squeezed in for a cameo apperance. Then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, God's daily planner has me finished."
-Chuck Palahniuk

Interesting, that he is also the guy who led the famous March to the Sea. He did not wish war, did not like war, knew it was a horror and an evil... but knew that if it had to be waged, then it had to be waged all-out and not played with.

Precisely.


Pardon my french, but if you're going to do something, Don't half-ass it. Sherman sure as hell didn't.

Speaking of which...

"It is well that war is so terrible, else we should grow too fond of it."

To make its bread.

That is such a sad quote... but 100% true.

The little girl saw her first troop parade and asked,
'What are those?'
'Soldiers.'
'What are soldiers?'
'They are for war. They fight and each tries to kill as many of the other side as he can.'
The girl held still and studied.
'Do you know . . . I know something?'
'Yes, what is it you know?'
'Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.'
Carl Sandburg
