„It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe, but not worth bothering with.“
— Stephen Fry
„It will not benefit the world if we succeed in banishing the old-fashioned wars of nations only to clear the board for social and doctrinal wars of even greater ferocity and destructiveness. This, indeed, is a growing danger. We were told that the old wars of religion had ended, but that is not much comfort if the wars of various kinds of secular religions or non-God religions are to begin and are to make Europe the arena of their hideous conflict, and if all that makes life worth living to the mass of the people is to be destroyed in the process.“
— Winston S. Churchill
„Even if smog were a risk to human life, we must remember that life in nature, without technology, is wholesale death.“
— Ayn Rand
„War is such a dangerous business that mistakes that come from kindness are the very worst.“
— Carl von Clausewitz
