Born enemies don't fight. Nations you would say were designed to go to war against each other by their skins, their language, their smell; always jealous of each other, always hating each other; they're not the ones who fight. You will find the real antagonists in nations fate has groomed and made ready for the same war.

Jean GiraudouxIf two people who love each other let a single instant wedge itself between them, it grows-it becomes a month, a year, a century; it becomes to late.
