- "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file
has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake,
since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice...Heroism at command,
senseless brutality, deplorable love-of- country stance - how violently
I hate all this; how despicable and ignoble war is...I would rather be
torn to shreds than be part of so base an action. It is my conviction that
killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
--Albert Einstein
