The great reason why we have had so many wars is that people take it for granted that there isn't going to be any war. They get complacent and do not make the necessary efforts to avoid war.

In part, Joseph, with his "attractive grave hardness," was an antidote to Dylan, who had been so finicky that he could pull an "all-out faint" at the sight of a mouse, and was "as useless as a penguin with his hands." In part, it was a Latin love call that Caitlin could not resist ("those wonderful whirlpools of dankly greasy, black grass hair, that it was an insult to the Creator...
