Kenneth Patchen... "The enemy is war...."

 “The enemy is war.

It exists in their peace.

It is a war to allow the few to starve the many.

It is a war to allow the few to blind the many.

But the power of this enemy is not in the few.

Its power is in the many who fear, distrust and hate one another.


Kenneth Patchen

Memoirs of a Shy Pornographer, New Directions, 1945, p. 89.
