War is, at first, the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off.

  • -- Karl Kraus 卡尔·克劳斯

战争最初是希望人们生活得更好;其次,预期另一个人的境况会更糟;然后,他没有变得更好的满足感;最后,每个人的境况都在恶化,这让我很惊讶。
