"I'm not interested in politics... But I am against war, because war is futile. Ten or twenty years afterward, one reflects that millions have died and all for nothing. One has found friends among one's old enemies, and enemies among one's friends."

(Abel Gance, regista, sceneggiatore, montatore e pioniere della stereofonia nel cinema sonoro; Parigi, 25 ottobre 1889 – Parigi, 10 novembre 1981)
