“ War pacifies itself. ”
Wealth is neither an ends nor a means, it is a symptom.
~ Christopher Dutton
Where two or more are gathered in the name of Man, that is civilization, that is Order, and that is the beginnings of brutality and suffering.
Time and suffering are inseperable. In life, as in physics, both are the common denominator of all experiences.
If one is searching for the cause of brutality in mankind, it would do well to remember that civilization is a great and vast machine.
