Quote #10
The fantastic thing about war was that it was fought about nothing—literally nothing. It was geography which was the cause—political geography. It was nothing else. [...] The imaginary lines on the earth's surface only needed to be unimagined. The airborne birds skipped them by nature. How mad the frontiers had seemed to Lyo-lyok, and would to Man if he could learn to fly. (C.14.105).
It's the human imagination—seeing those make-believe lines on the map—that causes war. And it's the human imagination that will one day allow us to erase them. Only then will humans be able to metaphorically fly, and finally defeat their instinct for war.
