This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed.

    Bell (c. 1955)

    The same reason that makes us chide and brawl and fall out with any of our neighbours, causeth a war to follow between Princes.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
