Propaganda thus serves more to justify ourselves than to convince others; and the more reason we have to feel guilty, the more fervent our propaganda.

They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country. But in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

MARCUS: Away, then, with all that almost old-womanish twaddle about untimely death being a miserable thing. What time pray? Nature’s? But she gives life on loan, as one might lend money — without fixing beforehand a day of repayment. What ground is there for complaint, then, if she ask for it back whenever she pleases? That was the condition on which you received it.
[Pellantur ergo istae ineptiae paene aniles, ante tempus mori miserum esse. Quod tandem tempus? Naturaene? At ea quidem dedit usuram tamquam pecuniae nalla praestituta die. Quid est igitur quod querare, si repetit,cum volt? Ea enim condicione acceperas.]Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
