Maybe, like other humans, [Iraqis] don't like being ordered about by men with guns. If only someone would do a study to confirm that suspicion.– A. Barton Hinkle

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.— Albert Camus, 1913-1960

Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show greatness themselves.– Ralph Waldo Emerson

A true war story is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If at the end of a war story you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie.– Tim O'Brien The Things They Carried [1990]

Woody: How are you today, Mr. Peterson?

The moment you give people a little bit of freedom, they want it all; the moment the virus of freedom is set loose, there is no way back.– Natan Sharansky

“Life is a sum of ... choices.”

Michael Uplawski 05-07-2016 02:01 AM

that Gross National Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. It counts Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children. Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.

(Robert Kennedy - 18. March 1968).

“... Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!”

(Charlie Chaplin - final speech in “The Great Dictator“ 1940)
