Alfred Nobel
Justice is to be found only in the imagination.
Alfred Nobel
A heart can no more be forced to love than a stomach can be forced to digest food by persuasion.

Perhaps my dynamite plants will put an end to war sooner than your [pacifist] congresses. On the day two army corps can annihilate each other in one second all civilized nations will recoil from war in horror.
Alfred Nobel
