Idée d'jour

I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: 'The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that's fair.' In these words he epitomized the history of the human race.
— Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, and author (1872-1970)
