"Ultimately, war is an attempt to control. If we want to say no to it we must trade our impulse to control for a desire to influence. We can't make life or people do what we want. What we can do is influence them. And nothing influences people more toward goodness than love. When we realized that life is inherently uncontrollable (the only way to truly control it is to kill it), we will return our attention to mastering the art of influence that we have abandoned for the promise of control."
