"To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style."

L'homme est ne   pour la socie  te  ; se  parez-le, isolez-le, ses ide  es se de  suniront, son caracte'  re se tournera, mille affections ridicules s'e  le'  veront dans son coeur; des 274 pense  es extravagantes germeront dans son esprit, comme les ronces dans une terre sauvage. Man is born to live in society: separate him, isolate him, and his ideas disintegrate, his character changes, a thousand ridiculous affectations rise up in his heart; extreme thoughts take hold in his mind, like the brambles in a wild field.

— Denis Diderot
