"Indeed; peace literature is almost exclusively read, though to good effect, by pacifists, while what is needed is the canvassing of those who have not so far been won to the cause"

- Fredrik Bajer

About this Quote

This quote by Fredrik Bajer recommends that literature advocating for peace is primarily checked out by those who already support the reason for pacifism. However, Bajer argues that this is insufficient, which it is required to connect to those who have not yet been persuaded of the benefits of pacifism. He indicates that the literature must be more widely distributed and checked out by those who are not already pacifists, in order to win them over to the cause. This quote highlights the importance of spreading out the message of peace and pacifism to those who may not have been exposed to it before. It also recommends that literature can be a powerful tool in persuading individuals of the worth of pacifism, and that it ought to be utilized to its maximum capacity.
