" If it were proven to me that by making the war, my ideal was likely to shape, I would say nevertheless not to the war. Because one does not work out a HUMAN SOCIETY on heaps of corpses."

" the worst of the gregarious institutions prénomme the army.

I hate it. If a man can test some pleasure to ravel in row with the sound of a music, I mistake this hommeÉ it does not deserve a human brain since a spinal cord satisfies it.

Us should make disappear as soon as possible this cancer from civilization.

I violently hate heroism on command, free violence and weak nationalism.

The war is the thing more méprisable.

I would prefer to let me assassinate to take part in this ignominie.

And yet I believe deeply in humanity.

I know that this cancer should for a long time have been cured.

But the good direction of the men is systematically corrompu.

And the culprits name themselves: school, press, business world, political world."

" From other " Rights " came to be added to those which had been proclaimed in 1948.

All must be taken into account, without forgetting that which conditions all the others: the right to peace, right to live in peace, which is not other than the right to our " personal sovereignty ", with the respect of the life and dignity."

Frédérico Mayor January 1997

here what the author with a politician wrote, Paul Faber, who claimed in 1954 prohibition on the waves of the song " the deserter "

(...) if this song can indirectly appear to aim at a category of people, they are undoubtedly not the civil ones; ex-serviceman would they be soldiers? And would you like to explain me what you hear, you, by ex-serviceman, " man who regrets being obliged to come to the weapons to defend oneself " or " man which regrets time when it fought "? If it is " man who proved reliable of combatant ", that takes an aggressive nuance. If it is " man who gained the war ", they is a little conceited.

Believe-moiÉ " ex-serviceman ", it is a dangerous word; one should not praise oneself to have made the war, one should regret it - ex-serviceman is placed better than whoever to hate the war. Almost all truths deserters are " ex-serviceman " who did not have the force to go until the end of the combat. And which will throw the stone to them? NonÉ if my song can displease, it is not with ex-serviceman, dear Mr Faber.

That can be only with one certain category of soldier of career; until new command, I regard ex-serviceman as civil happy of the être.(...)

Not, Mr Faber, do not seek the insult where it is not and if you find it, know that it is you who will have put it there. I clearly say what I want to say; and never I did not have the desire to insult ex-serviceman of the two wars, the resistant ones among which I count many friends, and deaths of the war - among which I counted others well of them (...) Jamais I will not insult men like me, of the civil ones, that one covered with a uniform to be able to kill them like simple objects, in their stuffing cranium of blank words and fallacious pretexts.

To fight without knowing why one fights is the fact of an imbecile and not that of a hero; the hero it is that which accepts death when it knows that it will be useful for the values which it defends. The deserter of my song is only one man who does not know; and which explains it to him?

(...) But of grace, do not make pretence believe only when I insult this ignominie which is the war, I insult the unhappy ones which is the victims: they are processes characteristic of those which employ them that those which consist in making pretence not include/understand; and rather than to take to you for a hypocrite I dare to hope that in truth, you had not included/understood anything and that the present letter will dissipate fortunately darkness.

The wars have all of the pretexts, but never have that a cause: the army.

Otez the army and you remove the war.

Victor Hugo

One believes to die for the fatherland, one dies for industrialists.

The war is a succession of unforeseen events to which one endeavours to give a reasoned direction.

Universal peace will be carried out one day not because the men will become better (it is not allowed to hope for it), but because a new command of things, a new science, new economic needs will impose the peaceful state to them.

At the hour when I speak to you, there are a hundred and thousand insane of our species covered with caps, which kill a hundred and thousand other covered animals of turbans for some large mud heaps like your heel...

It is not absolutely necessary to know if they will belong to a certain man whom one names Sultan or with another that one names, I do not know why, César...

Almost none of these animals never saw the animal for which they are cut the throat of.

The war is a trade where the smallest scruple would spoil all.

Indeed, which is the honest man who would like to do it, if there were not the right to make rules allowing plundering, fire, carnage.

Frederic II

An army, in old times, almost always originated in a tape of plunderers, or, which returns to same, people not wanting to work, and determined to live work of the others.

Naturally, these brigands, their authority recognized on a certain surface of country, become the guards born of those which work for them.

The command was created by a brigand become gendarme.

Whoever passed by the barracks is in general lost for the spirit of smoothness.

The state of conscript is disastrous with engineering.

Ernest Renan

The social role assigned to the soldier is the absolute constraint.

It is the last term of the machiné control of the human creature...

The professional soldiers are not held to reason, their trade even makes them a crime of the exercise of this natural faculty.

The war is a too serious thing to entrust it to soldiers.

The trade of soldier (...) is the art of the coward; it is art to attack without mercy when one is strong and to be held far from the danger when one is weak.

The capitalist State regards the human life as the matter truly first of the production of the capital.

It preserves this matter as long as it is useful for him to preserve it.

The war is not a catastrophe, it is a means of government.

One cannot kill the war without killing the capitalist State.

Even in the victory it is not beauty!

And that which names it beautiful is those which find joy in the massacre, and that which finds joy in the massacre will not succeed in in its ambition controlling the world.

Many draws glory from the value which they showed with the combat.

They go until enorgueillir murder of their brothers.

Indeed, military courage, the triumphal arches raised by a General or the community, exist only by the size of the murder.

Each gun which leaves factory, each man-of-war which one launches, each rocket which one draws, means - in the final analysis - a flight with the detriment of those which are hungry and do not have to eat, of those which are cold because they are not sufficiently vêtus.

This world out of weapons does not spend only of the money but the sweat of its workers, the engineering of its scientists, the future of his/her children.

With the money which only one modern bomber costs, one pourr ait construire plus de trente écoles neuves, ou encore deux usines d'ébergie électrique desservant chacune une ville de 60'000 habitants, ou encore deux hôpitaux parfaitement équipés, ou encore quatre-vingts kilomètres de routes en béton armé.

Nous payons, pour un seul avion de chasse, le prix de 1500 tonnes de blé.

Nous payons, pour un seul destroyer, le prix de nouvelles maisons que pourraient habiter plus de 8 000 personnes.
