Quote by Bertolt Brecht

Don't tell me peace has broken out.

Don't tell me peace has broken out.

Summary

The quote implies a skepticism towards the notion of peace suddenly prevailing in a situation. It suggests that the speaker is doubtful of any abrupt and unexpected calming of tensions or conflicts. The phrase may convey a sense of wariness, perhaps born out of experience or a belief that lasting peace cannot be achieved so easily. It reflects a cautious attitude, challenging any premature assumptions about the cessation of hostilities or the resolution of deep-rooted issues.
