Quote by Jacob Bronowski
Who has not hopedTo outrage an enemys dignity?Who has not

Who has not hoped
To outrage an enemys dignity?
Who has not been swept
By the wish to hurt?
And who has not thought that the impersonal world
Deserves no better than to be destroyed
By one fabulous sign of his displeasure? – Jacob Bronowski
