There's nothing more dangerous than
books that radicalize you against war.
When you take away fear from the citizens,
you take away their initiative for war.

if they believe more in peace than paranoia.

patriotism is genocide, military is massacre.

or scholar who takes pride in the military -
go back to the jungle, because that's where you
belong, with the rest of your animal society.”
