Bernard Cornwell Quotes About War

Quotes about: War

• Only a fool wants war, but once a war starts then it cannot be fought half-heartedly. It cannot even be fought with regret, but must be waged with a savage joy in defeating the enemy, and it is that savage joy that inspires our bards to write their greatest songs about love and war.

  Bernard Cornwell

  Love, Song, Regret

  Bernard Cornwell (1999). “Excalibur: A Novel of Arthur”, p.199, Macmillan

• There are seasons of our lives when nothing seems to be happening, when no smoke betrays a burned town or homestead and few tears are shed for the newly dead. I have learned not to trust those times, because if the world is at peace then it means someone is planning war.

  Bernard Cornwell

  War, Mean, Tears

• Because there could not be peace, not while two tribes shared one land. One tribe must win. Even the nailed god cannot change that truth. And I was a warrior, and in a world at war the warrior must be cruel.
