Quote by Andre Malraux

War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.

War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.

Summary

This quote highlights a fundamental contrast between war and peace. In war, the questions raised are often straightforward and simplistic, lacking nuance or consideration of complexities. It implies that war oversimplifies complex issues and reduces them to simplistic rhetoric or aggression. On the other hand, peace raises deeper and more intricate questions, often shrouded in mystery. Peace requires a deeper understanding of human nature, diplomacy, and sustainable solutions. The quote suggests that while war may offer quick and straightforward solutions, peace requires more thoughtful and elusive answers.
