Quote by George Orwell

War is war. The only good human being is a dead one.

War is war. The only good human being is a dead one.

Summary

This quote suggests a brutal and pessimistic view of war, asserting that during conflict, the idea of goodness and morality becomes obsolete. It implies that war strips away one's humanity, leading to acts that can only be seen as disastrous and destructive. By stating that the only "good" human being is a dead one, the quote underscores the notion that in war, any sense of goodness or righteousness is eradicated, leaving only tragic outcomes.
