“A war doesn't merely kill off a few thousand or a few hundred young men. It kills off something in people that can never be brought back. And if people go through enough wars, all that's left is the brute, the creature that we --- you and I and others like us -- have brought up from the slime", he paused for a long moment; then he smiled slightly: "The scholar should not be asked to destroy what he has aimed his life to build.”
