Pace e Bene – 29 July 2023

“The natural laws we have believed in and taught our children have sometimes been found to be not natural laws at all, but rather fearsome constructs of our own making, undermined by the evidence. And among those mistakes is this: All of the promises of politicians, generals, madmen, and crusaders that war can create peace have yet to be born out.”—Barbara Kingsolver, Small Wonders
