When I was a child, the institution of war, which by then had been in existence for perhaps five thousand years, was still taken for granted by most people in the world as a normal and acceptable fact of life. One small religious community, the Society of Friends, was as this time singular in condemning war as immoral and consequently refusing to have any part or lot in war-making.
--Arnold J. Toynbee, 1970
