About This Quote

This quote is a dream of a peaceful world, one that is free of war and conflict. On the one hand, this is a wonderful dream. Peace is wonderful to have. On the other hand, this quote raises an important question. What happens when we get there? In the words of the great Irish poet, WB Yeats: “the best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity.”
