“How do you
not see God
in a war zone? The God I believe in was tortured and died in agony on the
cross. God is there when I see another human being and see something of
infinite worth and value. God is there in this infinite horror and majesty of
the world. The idea to me that all of this beauty and all of this horror is
nothing but mere matter seems ridiculous, and I can’t disentangle my sense of
horror from my sense of the beauty and value of what is being destroyed in war.”—American
novelist and Iraq war veteran Phil Klay, interviewed by David Marchese for
“Talk” column, “
Finding a Moral Center in This Era of War,” The New
York Times Magazine, Dec. 3, 2023
