The misfortunes of war and preparations for war bear little relation to the reasons given to explain war: the real reasons are usually so insignificant that they are not even worth discussion, and they are completely unknown to those who die. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom, 17 June)
The reasons which governments give for wars are always screens behind which lie completely different reasons and motives. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Widsom, 17 June)
