If there were none of this playing at generosity in warfare, we should never go to war, except for something worth facing certain death for, as now. Then there would not be wars because Pavel Ivanitch had insulted Mihail Ivanitch. But if there is war as now, let it be really war. And then the intensity of warfare would be something quite different. All these Westphalians and Hessians Napoleon is leading against us would not have come to fight us in Russia, and we should not have gone to war in Austria and in Prussia without knowing what for. War is not a polite recreation, but the vilest thing in life, and we ought to understand that and not play at war. We ought to accept it sternly and solemnly as a fearful necessity. It all comes to this: have done with lying, and if it’s war, then it’s war and not a game, or else warfare is simply the favourite pastime of the idle and frivolous.... The military is the most honored calling. And what is war, what is needed for success in war, what are the morals of the military world The means employed in warfare—spying, treachery, trickery and lying, which are called military strategy; the morals of the military class—absence of all independence, that is, discipline, idleness, ignorance, cruelty, debauchery, and drunkenness. And in spite of all that, it is the highest class, respected by every one.

在十二世纪及随后的几个世纪中，炼金术(alchemy)在欧洲得到广泛的研究，并引起许多有学问的人的注意。虽然他们制造金子的种种尝试注定了是要失败的，但是他们的工作却使许多新的化学知识和实验方法得以发展。然而后来欧洲的许多炼金术士却是十足的骗子，他们施展各种诡计诈骗那些信以为真的人，因而炼金术也就声名扫地。到了十六世纪前半期，炼金术士的目标已经由制造黄金变为制造药物了。他们特别是要寻求一种名为“长生不老” (elixir of life)的奇异物质，一种能治百病的灵丹妙药，而且有些人认为事实将证明这种灵丹妙药和“哲人之石”是同一物质。化学的这个阶段差不多一直延续到1700年。
