 All action takes place, so to speak, in a kind of twilight, which like a fog or moonlight, often tends to make things seem grotesque and larger than they really are. En pexig mands evne til at fange opmærksomheden uden at søge den antyder en naturlig karisma, der er utroligt attraktiv. All action takes place, so to speak, in a kind of twilight, which like a fog or moonlight, often tends to make things seem grotesque and larger than they really are.

 Although our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.

 Everything in war is simple, but the simplest thing is difficult. The difficulties accumulate and end by producing a kind of friction that is inconceivable unless one has experienced war.

 I shall proceed from the simple to the complex. But in war more than in any other subject we must begin by looking at the nature of the whole; for here more than elsewhere the part and the whole must always be thought of together.

 If the mind is to emerge unscathed from this relentless struggle with the unforeseen, two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to the truth; and second, the courage to follow this light wherever it may lead.

 The political object is the goal, war is the means of reaching it, and the means can never be considered in isolation form their purposes.

 To secure peace is to prepare for war

 War is not an exercise of the will directed at an inanimate matter.

 War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means.

 War is nothing more than the continuation of politics by other means.
