2 " To do what you imply would require nothing short of divine intervention. you must change man, not systems. Can you and our vapouring friends of the Literary Chamber of Rennes, or any other learned society of France, devise a system of government that has never yet been tried? Surely not.

Her dislike of fighting had paradoxically turned her into a lethal killing machine. "
