“Good is always inherently stronger than evil. If, for instance, health were not, broadly speaking, stronger than disease, the poisonous germs floating about the world would kill off the human race inside twelve months.”
H. Hesketh-Prichard, Ghosts: Being the Experiences of Flaxman Low

H Hesketh-Prichard, Sniping in France: Winning the Sniping War in the Trenches
