Édouard Berth (pseudonym Jean Darville), quoted in Sternhell:

"War is not always that 'work of death' that a vain people of effeminate weaklings imagines. Behind every powerful industrial and commercial development there is an act of force, an act of war."

Sternhell/Berth: "Only violence can save the human race from 'becoming universally bougeois,' 'from the platitude of an eternal peace.'"
