The world that I should wish to see would be one freed from the virulence of group hostilities and capable of realizing that happiness for all is to be derived rather from co-operation than from strife.

Why I Am Not a Christian: And Other Essays on Religion and Related Subjects, p.7, Simon and Schuster
