As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war. — Byron Katie

Then again, I suspect most of us are not. — Laura Lippman

The essence of the modern state is that the universal be bound up with the complete freedom of its particular members and with private well-being, that thus the interests of family and civil society must concentrate themselves on the state.
