Are wars... anything but the means whereby a nation's problems are set, where creation is stimulated - there you have adventure. But there is no adventure in heads-or-tails, in betting that the toss will come out of life or death. War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.

But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.
