Sobre a Paz

Walter Leistikow, Waldsee in Winter (1892, State Museum, Berlin).
---
«One man with an idea in his head is in danger of being considered a madman: two men with the same idea in common may be foolish, but can hardly be mad; ten men sharing an idea begin to act, a hundred draw attention as fanatics, a thousand and society begins to tremble, a hundred thousand and there is war abroad, and the cause has victories tangible and real; and why only a hundred thousand? Why not a hundred million and peace upon the earth? You and I who agree together, it is we who have to answer that question.»

Muito bom, Margarida! A tela e, sobretudo, o texto que é, no mínimo, interpelador.
