"In other words, an event took place opposed to human reason and human nature. Millions of men committed against one and other a countless number of crimes, deceptions, treacheries, robberies, forgeries, issues of false money, depredations, incendiary fires, and murders, such as the annals of all the courts in the world could not equal in the aggregate of centuries and yet which, at that period, the perpetrators did not even regard as crimes."
Leo Tolstoy an excerpt from War and Peace. circa 1863
