Simone Weil Quotes

When War Is Waged, It Is For The Purpose Of Safeguarding Or Increasing One's Capacity To Make War. International Politics Are Wholly Involved In This Vicious Cycle. What Is Called National Prestige Consists In Behaving Always In Such A Way As To Demoralize Other Nations By Giving Them The Impression That, If It Comes To War, One Would Certainly Defeat Them. What Is Called National Security Is An Imaginary State Of Affairs In Which One Would Retain The Capacity To Make War While Depriving All Other Countries Of It.
