"A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short." "The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts: the less you know the hotter you get." "Love is, above all, the gift of oneself." "What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way." Top 5 quotes from War & Peace "Warmaking doesn't stop warmaking. If it did, our problems would have stopped millennia ago." "I deplore the need or the use of troops anywhere to get American citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts." "Without a doubt, psychological warfare has proven its right to a place of dignity in our military arsenal." "A tyrant is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader." "If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable; and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let it come!"
