Quotations

"When we think of our soldiers and sailors we think of what they suffer. . . But we should also think of the suffering we send them forth to inflict—not from choice of theirs, but because we have found no better way." (Nov. 1914, "Anti-War Suffragists." in Jo Vellacott, History, p. 62, 1977; photo spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk)
