Fighting for peace, is like f***ing for chastity

Stephen King

About This Quote

This quote needs no introduction—at least for now. We're working on adding more context soon.

Interpretation

The line is a deliberately crude paradox: it argues that using an act that inherently contradicts a stated goal cannot logically achieve that goal. “Fighting” is framed as intrinsically incompatible with “peace,” just as sex is incompatible with “chastity.” The shock value is part of the rhetoric—meant to puncture euphemisms and expose what the speaker sees as moral or political self-deception, especially in justifications for war or coercion presented as peacekeeping. As a quotation, it functions less as a nuanced policy claim than as a satirical, absolutist critique of means-and-ends reasoning.
