Each war ends with the black seeds of the next war sown: honor newly lost, injustice freshly inflicted, a world more broken than before. Always, someone steps forward, ready to water and weed and harvest those black seeds, dreaming of the day when they will bring forth their bounty of vindictive vindication. Into that dreamer's ear, a bloodred god whispers, \"Offer flattery in one hand, fear in the other. Rule or be ruled! Dominate or disappear!\" The rationales warp and shift. The closer war comes, the simpler and stupider the choices. Are you a warrior or a coward? Are you with us or against us? \"All men dream,\" Colonel Lawrence wrote, \"but not equally. Those who dream by night wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mary Doria Russell" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/mary-doria-russell/the-irony-is-that-each-new-war-begins-in-hope-hope-of-restoring-lost/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bea/mary-doria-russell-3319_hope_the-irony-is-that-each-new-war-begins-in_1019586.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bea/mary-doria-russell-3319_hope_the-irony-is-that-each-new-war-begins-in_1019586.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bea/mary-doria-russell-3319_hope_the-irony-is-that-each-new-war-begins-in_1019586.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The irony is that each new war begins in hope: hope of restoring lost honor, hope of redressing injustices…” — Mary Doria Russell", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/war-begins/mary-doria-russell/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/war-begins/mary-doria-russell/", "name": "War Begins Quotes by Mary Doria Russell", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/war-begins/mary-doria-russell/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bea/mary-doria-russell-3319_hope_the-irony-is-that-each-new-war-begins-in_1019586.jpg" }, "description": "1 War Begins quotes by Mary Doria Russell.
