“Without hypocrisy, lying, punishments, prisons, fortresses and murders, no new power can arise and no existing one hold its own... thus efforts to get it are not likely to be coupled with goodness, but with the opposite qualities of pride, craft and cruelty.”

Leo Tolstoy 1828 – 1910 CE
from The Kingdom of God is Within You (1893)
