“War can only exist in a world of tragedy; from the beginning of history man has known only a tragic world and has not been capable of stepping out of it. The age of tragedy can be ended only by the revolt of frivolity.” — Milan Kundera, Immortality (trans. Kussi)

And pie-throwing maneuvers. With water ballon hand-grenades. And generous rations of sedatives.
