Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them! ~Albert Einstein | Ambrose Bierce Quote: |
His dark, sardonic views and vehemence as a critic earned him the nickname, "Bitter Bierce."
| Albert Einstein Quote: |
"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
| OK, Einstein, if you don't want to fight, just say so. |
