Thought maybe this was the selection where Orwell presented one of my favorites: "That you and I are able to sleep safely in our beds at night owes to the fact the rough men stand ready to do harm to those who would attack us"...or was it Huxley?...
A humanitarian is always a hypocrite, and Kipling's understanding of this is perhaps the central secret of his power to create telling phrases. It would be difficult to hit off the one-eyed pacifism of the English in fewer words than in the phrase, "making mock of uniforms that guard you while you sleep." ... He sees clearly that men can only be highly civilised while other men, inevitably less civilised, are there to guard and feed them.
-- Orwell, Rudyard Kipling.
