“This subject brings me to that vilest offspring of the herd mind -- the odious militia. The man who enjoys marching in line and file to the strains of music falls below my contempt; he received his great brain by mistake -- the spinal cord would have been amply sufficient. This heroism at command, this senseless violence, this accursed bombast of patriotism -- how intensely I despise them! War is low and despicable, and I had rather be smitten to shreds than participate in such doings.” MenMindHas BeensWarFallEnjoyLinesMistakeBrainViolenceSubjectsHe ManLowsCommandSufficientContemptDespiseHeroismStrainFilesHerdsOffspringCordsDespicableMilitiaDoingsSmittenSpinal CordSenseless Violence Author:Albert Einstein

We have to decide then to ignore the violence and create a gentler world in our fiction, or to heighten the violence through the use of point-of-view in order to explore it and gain some insight and understanding. Since I'm living with the violence and trouble in my brain, it's kind of a relief to write about it, to get it on paper, to put it in context, to find meaning in it.” WorldWritingKindUnderstandingBrainViolenceTroubleInsightNeighborFind Me Author:Bonnie Jo Campbell
