Quote by David Herbert Lawrence

Loud peace propaganda makes war seem imminent.

Loud peace propaganda makes war seem imminent.

Summary

This quote suggests that when peace propaganda becomes too loud and prevalent, it can paradoxically create an atmosphere that makes war feel increasingly likely. By excessively promoting peace and highlighting the need for it, the emphasis on potential conflict and danger intensifies. This can fuel an underlying sense of tension, creating the impression that war is on the horizon. The quote serves as a cautionary reminder of the unintended consequences that excessive or exaggerated peace messaging might have in shaping people's perception of the likelihood of war.

That novel was composed of scratches on a page, dear. The characters inhabiting it have no life outside of those scratches. What happened to them? They all ceased to exist the moment the novel ended.
