War has become a luxury that only small nations can afford.

Summary

This quote suggests that larger nations have become powerful and developed enough to avoid engaging in wars. Instead, they have the capability to resolve conflicts through diplomacy or economic means. In contrast, smaller nations, lacking the resources and influence, may still resort to warfare as they do not possess the luxury of choosing alternative approaches. It highlights an evolving global dynamic where power and wealth have allowed some nations to outgrow the necessity of resorting to armed conflict.

Do you know what it's like to love someone so much, that you can't see yourself without picturing her? Or what it's like to touch someone, and feel like you've come home? What we had wasn't about sex, or about being with someone just to show off what you've got, the way it was for other kids our age. We were, well, meant to be together.
