Abstract

‘They make a desert and call it peace’ ‘For every state war is incessant and lifelong against every other state… For what most men call ‘peace’, this is really only a name — in truth, all states by their very nature are always engaged in an informal war against all other states’² ‘the nature of War consisteth not in actual fighting: but in the known predisposition thereto, during all the time there is no assurance to the contrary. All other time is Peace.’³
