Quote by Douglas William Jerrold

There is peace more destructive of the manhood of living man than war is destructive of his material body.

There is peace more destructive of the manhood of living man

Summary

This quote suggests that while war can cause physical destruction and harm to individuals, there is another form of destruction, namely the loss of inner strength and character, that peace can bring about. It implies that peace, when forced upon individuals against their will, can strip them of their essential qualities, self-reliance, and the ability to assert themselves. The quote challenges the notion that peace is always preferable, highlighting the potential negative consequences it can have on one's personal growth and sense of identity.

As for myself: I had come to the conclusion that there was nothing sacred about myself or any human being, that we were all machines, doomed to collide and collide and collide.

Sometimes I wrote badly, which meant I was a writing machine in bad repair. I no more harbored sacredness than did a Pontiac, a mousetrap, or a South Bend Lathe.
