Peace is just another word for nothing left to kill.
"My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music."
- Vladimir Nabokov US (1899 - 1977)
Also, me.
“Man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally, he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic”
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky Russian Novelist and Writer, 1821-1881
"All Clock Faces Are Wrong." - Gene Ray, Prophet(?) http://www.timecube.com
A simplified maxim on the subject states "An atheist would say, 'I don't believe God exists'; an agnostic would say, 'I don't know whether or not God exists'; and an ignostic would say, 'I don't know what you mean when you say, "God exists" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignosticism

Peace... a concept that doesn't exist anymore.
Take your time to trust in me,
and you will find
Infinity...

I've heard these quotes from somewhere, I don't remember.

"Those that wish for peace, but do not prepare for war shall only have the latter."
"It is from their enemies, not their friends that cities build high walls."
In all corners of the globe, the free people's slogan is this:
Speak to Fascists in the language of fire! With words of bullets! With sharp wit of bayonets!

Si vis pacem, para bellum says it better. If you wish for peace, prepare for war.
