It's enough for me to despise a man who can march triumphantly with the band in four columns. He grew a brain out of misunderstanding; a single spinal cord could meet all his needs.

The courageous acts of command, the senseless atrocities, and all the abominable mischief in the name of patriotism, all of which I abhor. ——Einstein
