““In the last twenty years, we have endeavoured to deal with the "problem of peace and security", and whether we do not still secretly hug the delusion that it is possible to deal with it as a "problem". We really persuaded ourselves that peace was something that could be achieved by a device, by a set of regulations, by a League of Nations or some other form of constitution, that would solve the matter once and for all. We continue to delude ourselves into the belief that "when the war is over" we shall "this time" discover the trick, the magical formula, that will stop the course of events, make further exertion unnecessary. Last time we failed to achieve this end, and why? Chiefly because we supposed it to be achievable. Because we looked at peace and security as a problem to be solved and not as a work to be made.””
