War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that war, although sometimes deemed necessary to resolve conflicts, is inherently harmful. It conveys the idea that war should never be glorified or deemed as a positive solution. True and lasting peace cannot be achieved through violence and causing harm to innocent lives, particularly children. Instead, the quote advocates for finding alternative ways to coexist peacefully, as ultimately, the loss and suffering caused by war cannot be justified by any perceived benefits.
