“Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can’t even think straight.”
—Marilyn French (b. 1929)
“Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defense can be just.”
