“Is it not tragic, for example, that while in the last World War almost everyone believed it was the war to end all wars and wanted to make it so, now in this Second World War almost no writer that I have read dares even suggest that this is the war to end all wars, or act on that belief?

“We are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and an example of modern credulity is the widespread belief that the Earth is round.

At one period in the development of the human race, almost everybody thought cannibalism was a duty.”

“You need to identify the values that come out of that kind of belief system, because I don't see them.
