Quotes by David A. Bell (?)

“Why is this the case? Why has the West returned again and again to the twin visions of an end to war and apocalyptic war? I don’t pretend to be offering an answer to this entire, vast question. But in this book, I explore how and why the pattern began.”
― David A. Bell, The First Total War: Napoleon's Europe and the Birth of Warfare as We Know It

“men desire harmony, but nature knows better what is good for the species: it desires strife.”
