I'm Interested In The Real World.

I Write About Violence As Naturally As Jane Austen Wrote About Manners. Violence Shapes And Obsesses Our Society, And If We Do Not Stop Being Violent We Have No Future.

But We Are Not In The World To Be Good But To Change It.

It's Politely Assumed That Democracy Is A Means Of Containing And Restraining Violence. But Violence Comes Not From Genes But From Ideas

The Truth Has Got To Appear Plausible On The Stage

As Shakespeare Himself Knew, The Peace, The Reconciliation That He Created On The Stage Would Not Last An Hour On The Street.
