in the old days the human race was always making war , its entire existence was taken up with campaigns , advances , retreats, victories. but now all thats out of date, and in its place ther's a huge vacuum , clamoring to be filled . humanity is passionately seeking something to fill it with and, of course , it will find something some day. oh! if only it would happen soon! if only we could educate the industrious people and make the educated people industrious.'

--anton chekhov ( taken for three sisters)
