L'Homme qui enseigne la guerre aux enfants est assis dans ma salle d'attente. Il est mince, frêle ; ses cheveux ont prématurément blanchi. Il s'est recroquevillé comme le ferait un enfant, les bras croisés sur son ventre dans une parodie d'étreinte.
[...]
Un enfant est censé passer deux ans à étudier la guerre. Les gamins vont voir des batailles célèbres et en découvrent ensuite les conséquences. Ils utilisent pour cela des cabines spéciales auxquelles n'ont pas accès le commun des voyageurs dans le temps - les enfants doivent pouvoir sentir la crasse, toucher le sang, percevoir l'odeur de pourriture.
De cette manière, et uniquement de cette manière, nous empêchons notre peuple de partir en guerre.
