The enemy resembles us. Therefore, he needs to be approached not as an assembly of 'targets' to be destroyed one by one; but as a living, intelligent entity capable of acting and reacting.

War is the greatest fun man can have with his pants on.

A world without war is not in the cards.

We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets of our air force.

As history since Hiroshima shows, the best, perhaps the only, way to curb war is to deter it with such overwhelming force as to turn it from a struggle into suicide.

I want to put any number of assorted 'ists' - such as relativists, deconstructionists, destructivists, postmodernists, the more maudlin kind of pacifists and feminists - firmly in their place.

Except when war is waged in a desert, noncombatants, also known as civilians or "the people," constitute the great majority of those affected.

If you are strong and fighting the weak, then if you kill your opponent then you are a scoundrel... if you let him kill you, then you are an idiot.

In the future as in the past, both Clausewitz and Sun Tzu will undoubtedly have a lot to offer.

Obviously, we don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons and I don't know if they're developing them, but if they're not developing them, they're crazy.

Sun Tzu does not need my praise. His work has lived for over two thousand years, and will surely live for another two thousand without any help from me.

Illiteracy is simply the inability to read and write.

A wig is a wig is a wig.

Will: Have you ever seen what happens to someone with demon pox? First it lies dormant. One begins to turn yellow and green. Then the swelling sets in - Jem: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DEMON POX.

No one ever regarded the first of January with indifference.

But the way I see it, dying without knowing love would be a tragedy.

Not all living creatures die. An amoeba, for example, need never die; it need not even, like certain generals, fade away. It just divides and becomes two new amoebas.

It's vulgar, coming from where I do, to talk about money.

I don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.

What a bummer it is to be a human being.

Sure, I love to read, and I love to learn, but I was always nerdy that way.
