Rebecca West Quotes

For Some Reason A Nation Feels As Shy About Admitting That It Ever Went Forth To War For The Sake Of More Wealth As A Man Would About Admitting That He Had Accepted An Invitation Just For The Sake Of The Food. This Is One Of Humanity's Most Profound Imbecilities, As Perhaps The Only Justification For Asking One's Fellowmen To Endure The Horrors Of War Would Be The Knowledge That If They Did Not Fight They Would Starve.
