World is the sum of the shapes given to it by different ideas. Only ideas matter, men come and go. Men become saints because of some idea, men become devils because of some competing idea. Locate the evil idea, and destroy it. Eliminating evil men does not amount to much so long as the idea that animated them is not eliminated simultaneously. Ideas are like viruses. They may lie dormant for decades, even centuries, but an outbreak, even deadlier outbreak than earlier instances, is possible any time; may be even in another place where the carriers of the idea, the followers of idea have migrated to, or idea alone has traveled.
