Lewis Mumford Quotes

In Short, The Oppressor And The Oppressed, Instead Of Fighting It Out Within The City, Directed Their Aggression Toward A Common Goal-an Attack On A Rival City. Thus The Greater The Tensions And The Harsher The Daily Repressions Of Civilization, The More Useful War Became As A Safety Valve. Finally, War Performed Another Function That Was Even More Indispensable, If My Hypothetical Connection Between Anxiety, Human Sacrifice, And War Prove Defensible. War Provided Its Own Justification, By Displacing Neurotic Anxiety With Rational Fear In The Face Of Real Danger. Once War Broke Out, There Was Solid Reason For Apprehension, Terror, And Compensatory Displays Of Courage.
