EXPLICIT LIBER REGIS QUONDAM REGIS FUTURI THE BEGINNING - T. H. White

"I see what you think you mean," said the magician, "but you are wrong. There is no excuse for war, none whatever, and whatever wrong which your nation might be doing to mine-short of war-my nation would be in the wrong if I started a war so as to redress it. A murderer, for instance, is not allowed to plead that his victim was rich and oppresing him, so why should a nation be allowed to? Wrongs have to be redressed by reason, not force."

And do you know another thing, Arthur? Life is too bitter already, without territories and wars and noble feuds.

I am an anarchist, like any other sensible person.
