Henry Moore Quote

I was in the trenches in the last war [1914 – 1918], & so all the more don't want to shoot or be shot at, again... Although no one can say there's democracy in England in the real sense of the word, & although British Imperialism has a pretty bloody record, I hate Fascism & Nazism & all its aims & ideology so intensively, that I don't think I could refuse to help in trying to prevent it from being victorious. However, when the time comes that I'm asked, or have got to do something in this war, I hope it will be something less destructive than taking part in the actual fighting and killing.
