Quote by H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

The War That Will End War.

The War That Will End War.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to British author H.G. Wells, implies that a catastrophic global conflict could eradicate war altogether. It suggests that by experiencing the horrors of war firsthand, nations and people would be forever deterred from engaging in future conflicts, leading to lasting peace. However, this notion has been widely criticized as naive and unrealistic, as history has shown that wars often beget more wars, and the complexities of global conflicts extend far beyond a singular event's capacity to end all future wars.

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
