Quotes by Jules Roy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We have regressed to the times of the wars of religion; divided, betrayed, threatened if we do not think as the others think or if we refuse to use the same formulas and cry the same watchwords. And tomorrow, ready to kill each other in the name of free will. Refusing to consider the realities he finds disagreeable, each adversary blinds himself with his own convictions and no longer considers those that might help him to comprehend the problem.”
Jules Roy, The War In Algeria
