" "
Je n'accepterai point d'endosser l'habit rouge du soldat ni qu'on m'envoie tirer sur mon ami français, allemand ou arabe dans une querelle dont le sens m'échappe : je me rebellerai plutôt. Je n'accepterai pas non plus de gaspiller mon temps et mon énergie à fabriquer un colifichet dont je sais que seul un imbécile en voudra : je me rebellerai plutôt.

Additional quotes by William Morris

A world made to be lost, — A bitter life 'twixt pain and nothing tost.
