Violence stinks, no matter which end of it you're on.  But now and then
there's nothing left to do but hit the other person over the head with a

impulsive philanthropy, which we aren't in any position to afford, but
shouldn't regret it too loudly lest we spoil the purity of the deed.
                -- Tom Robbins
