2022. There is no more pressing topic than ending the war. What could be more terrible than a war in which innocent people die en masse? All wars are ugly. War is pain, blood, tears, grief, despair. People who survived the war have the most cherished desire: “If only there was no war.” Most sane people reject it, regardless of the reasons, and believe that everything depends on politicians. “Come to your senses!” - wrote L.N. Tolstoy. You can say it more radically: “Politician, do you want to fight? Go away!” Some historians say that wars are impossible, that they are necessary. Maybe. But I think that it is in our power to ensure that the war lasts as little time as possible, and that the intervals of peace between wars increase. This has been a problem since ancient times, and there have been different ways. It is enough to remember Aristophanes and his “Lysistrata”. We would like such modern Lysistrata. Let me remind you that there the women united and refused to fulfill their marital duty until the bloodshed was over. Today, not only women, but all people of good will should unite. You need to read anti-war books, watch anti-war films, get acquainted with the statements of reasonable people about the anti-national essence of wars and, most importantly, teach children the correct attitude towards war. Think about children when electing politicians. I hope that this collection of quotes will help readers in this extremely important matter. And only the will of ordinary people who stand up for peace can stop politicians who want to fight.
