Quote 9 of 9

From A Mathematician's Apology, by G.H. Hardy

It may also be urged ... that the equalization of risks which science
was expected to bring would be in the long run salutary; that a
civilian's life is not worth more than a soldier's, nor a woman's than
a man's; that anything is better than the concentration of savagery on
one particular class; and that, in short, the sooner war comes "all
out" the better.
