men dreaming up wars for
young men to die in.

I hope....that mankind will at length,
as they call themselves responsible creatures,

man has the right to kill me because he
lives on the other side of a river and his
ruler has a quarrel with mine, though
I have not quarreled with him?
Blaise Pascal
