What about this affair? Do you call it right? (JOB ARTHUR: Haven't we been driven to it?) Partly. And haven't you driven the masters to it, as well? (JOB ARTHUR: I don't see that.) Can't you see that it takes two to make a quarrel? And as long as each party hangs on to its own end of the stick and struggles to get full hold of the stick, the quarrel will continue. It will continue till you've killed one another. And even then, what better shall you be? What better would you be, really, if you'd killed Gerald Barlow just now? You wouldn't, you know. We're all human beings, after all. And why can't we try really to leave off struggling against one another, and set up a new state of things?
