Wenn ich eine Welt sehe, in der es ein Verbrechen ist, einen einzelnen Zivilisten zu töten, aber völlig rechtmäßig, wenn man tausend Tonnen hochexplosiven Sprengstoff über einem Wohngebiet abwirft, dann frage ich mich schon, ob unsere Erde nicht eine Irrenanstalt ist.

Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer who lost a horse. Ran away. And all the neighbors came around that evening and said: “That’s too bad.” And he said: “Maybe.” The next day the horse came back and brought seven wild horses with it. And all the neighbors came around and said: “Why, that’s great! Isn’t it?” And he said: “Maybe.” The next day his son was attempting to tame one of these horses and was riding it and was thrown, and broke his leg. And all the neighbors came round in the evening and said: “Well, that’s too bad, isn’t it…” And the farmer said: “Maybe.” The next day the conscription officers came around looking for people for the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. And all the neighbors came round that evening and said: “Isn’t that wonderful!” And he said: “Maybe.”
