In wartime a man is called a hero. It doesn't make him any braver, and he runs for his life. But at least it's a hero who is running away. - Jean Giraudoux

Everyone always dies for his country. If you have lived in it, well and wisely and actively, you die for it too.

Translation: You're an attorney! It's your duty to lie, conceal, and distort everything, and slander everybody.

Born enemies don't fight. Nations you would say were designed to go to war against each other — by their skins, their language, their smell: always jealous of each other, always hating each other — they're not the ones who fight. You will find the real antagonists in nations fate has groomed and made ready for the same war.
