About This Quote

In Shakespeare’s play "As You Like It," the character of Touchstone says, "It is love and reason,' I said,'fleeing from all the madness of war." He was speaking about the idea that love and reason were the only things that could save humanity from the madness of war. In his time, he knew that it would be difficult to prevent war from happening. But, as long as people stuck together as a family, as long as they maintained friendship among one another, they would be able to survive anything.
