I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

More From Franklin D. Roosevelt

A sea-green sky: lamps blossoming white. this is marginal land: fields of strung wire, of treadless tyres in ditches, fridges dead on their backs, and starving ponies cropping the mud. it is a landscape running with outcasts and escapees, with afghans, turks and kurds: with scapegoats, scarred with bottle and burn marks, limping from the cities with broken ribs. the life forms here are rejects, or anomalies: the cats tipped from speeding cars, and the heathrow sheep, their fleece clotted with the stench of aviation fuel.

Did you ever notice how many survivors they have? did you ever notice that? everybody - every time you turn around, 15,000 survivors meet here, 400 survivors convention there. i mean, did you ever notice? nazis sure were inefficient, weren't they? boy, boy, boy! ...you almost have no survivors that ever say they saw a gas chamber or saw the workings of a gas chamber...they'll say these preposterous stories that anybody can check out to be a lie, an absolute lie.

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. i hate the way you drive my car. i hate it when you stare. i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. i hate it, i hate the way you're always right. i hate it when you lie. i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
Hate Lying Cutting
I have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

The sea of galilee and the dead sea are made of the same water. it flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of herman and the roots of the cedars of lebanon. the sea of galilee makes beauty of it, the sea of galilee has an outlet. it gets to give. it gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the jordan plain. but the dead sea with the same water makes horror. for the dead sea has no outlet. it gets to keep.

Where do people get off saying the beatles should give $200,000,000 to south america? you know, america has poured billions into places like that. it doesn't mean a damn thing. after they've eaten that meal, then what? it lasts for only a day. after the $200,000,000 is gone, then what? it goes round and round in circles. you can pour money in forever. after peru, then harlem, then britain. there is no one concert. we would have to dedicate the rest of our lives to one world concert tour, and i'm not ready for it. not in this lifetime, anyway.
