"Every national border in Europe," El Eswad added ironically, "marks the place where two gangs of bandits got too exhausted to kill each other anymore and signed a treaty. Patriotism is the delusion that one of these gangs of bandits is better than all the others."
We prioritize dialogue, even in our fight with bandits and gangs.
Take care! Kingdoms are destroyed by bandits, houses by rats, and widows by suitors.
Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale?... A gang is a group of men... in which the plunder is divided according to an agreed convention. If this villainy... acquires territory, establishes a base, captures cities and subdues people, it then openly arrogates to itself the title of kingdom.
Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms.

Sometimes there's truth in old cliches. There can be no real peace without justice. And without resistance there will be no justice.
We will never know peace in the world without balance. And we will never know balance without justice for all. Yet, justice exists only where there is fairness and equality -- when every man and country is treated and viewed equally.

We must change this widespread mentality by making equality a reality, not just something we read and hear about on the TV and in literature.
Above all do not ask that justice be just: It is just, because it is justice. The idea of a just justice could have originated only in the brain of an anarchist.
