Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare.

I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.”
