" - Paul Gillmor " If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking. " - William Tecumseh Sherman " Why are video games so violent? The ones I’ve seen remind me of the 4th of July, with everything exploding, buildings, cars, airplanes, men and women. Kill, kill, and kill for sport and entertainment. " - Madeleine M. Kunin " The war on terror is the war in Afghanistan.

" - Greg Grandin " So basically America, they are the Knights Templars of, and they’ve taken us into, perpetual war – that’s their game. " - Bez " The works I made at the start of my career rely on the themes of war, atomic power, and outer space. " - Takashi Murakami
