Quote by Norman F. Dixon

“Тоді як сучасна війна стає все швидшою і смертоноснішою, а засоби її ведення — все складнішими, інтелектуальний рівень тих, хто приходить в армію на роль офіцерів, може недотягувати. Це припущення ґрунтується на тому, що дедалі менше молодих людей вважають військову службу привабливою.”

“Did the Ancient Hainish postulate that continuous sexual capacity and organized social aggression, neither of which are attributes of any mammal but man, are cause and effect? Or, like Tumass Song Angot, did they consider war to be a purely masculine displacement-activity, a vast Rape, and therefore in their experiment eliminate the masculinity that rapes and the femineity that is Raped? God knows.”
