To cry peace, peace, when there is no peace, as the Jewish prophet, Jeremiah, taught us long ago,
 is not an expression of hope but a foolish and dangerous abrogation of reality.
It dulls the mind and the aspiration of a people who then become lost
and blinded under a veritable veil of deception.
--Victor Sharpe
 

 "... peace under a semblance of peace ... is but a manifold illusion."
W.B Yeats

 "...a deliberate aim at Peace, which very easily passes into its bastard substitute; anesthesia." 
A.N. Whitehead describing the efforts of peacemakers
