"I should say that a pacifist is someone who completely rejects the use of force, as a matter of principle. I am myself not a pacifist, as I consider that in some circumstances force is justifiable. I think we should be careful to distinguish between pacifists and those who in particular circumstances feel force to be wrong. We should not consider a man who refused on political grounds to serve in the Nazi army a pacifist, nor a man who today did not support an immediate declaration of war by the United States on Cuba. Similarly, although I was a conscientious objector to military service in the first world war, I do not feel that this made me a pacifist."

I have read them all with a great deal of interest and, although they express a variety of moods, I have no difficulty in sympathizing with all of them.
