Quote by Terry Pratchett
Peace?' said Vetinari. 'Ah, yes, defined as period of time to allow for preparation for the next war.
Summary
This quote by Vetinari highlights a cynical perspective on the concept of peace. He suggests that peace is merely a temporary respite between conflicts, a time used to gather resources and strategize for future wars. This interpretation challenges the idealized notion of peace as a state of harmony and emphasizes the continuous cycle of conflict and preparation for it. Vetinari's statement serves as a reminder that peace may often be an illusion and that underlying tensions and preparations for aggression persist even in seemingly peaceful times.
