These are the words of Heraclitus, who lived around 500 BC and also
believed in constant change, and in the necessity of opposites. It's not clear if he believed in historical cycles, and he was probably
a pessimist, or at least had a small opinion of people in general. But maybe he was just trying to challenge them. He certainly believed
in the purpose of war, as the quote above shows, and if we interpret modern events optimistically then we can foresee the
cycle driving us forward towards a better future. - Steve Barrera

War is father of all,
Some it makes gods,
some it makes slaves,
