Argument Quote by James S.A. Corey

“Violence is what people do when they run out of good ideas. It's attractive because it's simple, it's direct, it's almost always available as an option. When you can't think of a good rebuttal for your opponent's argument, you can always punch them in the face.” quote by James S.A. Corey — Download Open image
