The Mark of Cain

Let modern dictatorship not serve as an alibi for our conscience. We have failed to fight for right, for justice, for goodness; as a result we must fight against wrong, against injustice, against evil. We have failed to offer sacrifice on the altar of peace; thus we offered sacrifices on the altar of war.
