Quote by Eve Curie Labouisse

We discovered that peace at any price is no peace at all...that life at any price has no value whatever; that life is nothing without the privileges, the prides, the rights, the joys that make it worth living and also worth giving...and that there is something more hideous, more atrocious than war or than death; and that is to live in fear.

We discovered that peace at any price is no peace at all...t

Summary

Furthermore, the quote underscores the extreme negativity of living in constant fear, arguing that such a state is more dreadful and abhorrent than the horrors of war or death itself. The message here invites individuals to cherish and fight for a life filled with its true, worthwhile essence.
