“Now and again I have expressed the opinion that every nation,
and even every person, would do better, instead of rocking
himself to sleep with political catchwords about war guilt,
to ask himself how far his own faults and negligences and
evil tendencies are guilty of the war and all the other wrongs
of the world, and that there in lies the only possible means
of avoiding the next war”. Herman Hesse.
