My 2nd entry in kiksama's challenge

Brave Soldiers

Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, I really love the way they look in uniforms, deadly ♥_____♥ I wanted the word "forbidden" to explain everything in this wallpaper. I used things that speaks "do not pass" the wires, bullet hols and the bloody stain behind them. The quotes I used are about love and war:

"All's fair in love and war." (the famous quote that everyone knows, I had to use it. it's the best...)
“People always make war when they say they love peace” by D.H. Lawrence (British Poet, Novelist and Essayist, 1885-1930)
“Love is like war; easy to begin but very hard to stop” by Henry Louis Mencken (American humorous Journalist and Critic of American life who influenced US fiction through the 1920s, 1880-1956)
“Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.” by James Arthur Baldwin (American Essayist, Playwright and Novelist, 1924-1987)
“It is as a soldier that you make love and as a lover that you make war” by Antoine de Saint-Exupery (French Pilot, Writer and Author of 'The Little Prince', 1900-1944)
“Wars begin in the minds of men, and in those minds, love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace.” (can't remember who wrote it...sorry).

And the name of the countries "Ukraine, Russia, Belarus" are arranged in a very special way: Russia is the biggest country and Ivan is the oldest, Ukraine is the middle sister and not very attached to Ivan and Natalya and Belarus is the youngest and has an obsession for her brother Ivan *laughs*
