Quotations

I am against war on principle. I don’t know at al why war is waged. Who dies and who’s in a safe place? The rulers, the members of their families and their children are in a safe place. The others must die. Is there a meaningful war at all? War results in dead people and poverty. The children suffer from it.” (Elster, ed., Women Conscientious Objectors, p. 78)
