"War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is the sooner it will be over." General William Sherman
"To learn who rules over you, Simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
"Rule of thumb Hassan. You cant kill the Messiah."
"I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld,
I will smash the door posts, and leave the doors flat down,
And will let the dead go up to eat the living!
And the dead will outnumber the living!"
"War is a poorly staged rendition of wag the dog interpeted for the morbidly stupid and portrayed by the criminally insane."
"What we do in life echoes in eternity"
The gun IS democracy. There is no separating the two. The invention of the firearm is what allowed the common man to overthrow nobles and warlords, kings and tyrants. It is Promethean fire given to the masses, and that is why those who lord themselves over other men fear it so much.
Haß ist unser Gebet und Rache ist unser feldgeschrei
"Ein Staat ist nur so frei wie sein Waffenrecht" - Gustav Heinemann
I am the tool of no man, and I am the tool of no class, A dictatorship of the proletariat is no less a dictatorship than any other sort.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Something lives only as long as the last person who remembers it, Memory like fire is radiant and immuteable, While history serves only those who seek to control it, Those who would douse the flame of memory, in order to put out the dangerous fire of truth. Beware these men, For they are dangerous themselves and unwise. Their false history is written in the blood of those who might remember, And of those who seek the truth.
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
Mahatma Gandhi
A visitor from Mars could easily recognize the most civilized nations. They have the best implements of war...

"Es tut mir leid aber ich verstehe nicht wofur du gestorben."
Collectivism is the philosophy of every cockroach and sewer rat. "If I want it, I must need it, and if I need it, I have a right to it, and if I have a right to it, it doesn't matter what I have to do to get it." the fact that such an inherently animalistic, short sighted, anti human viewpoint is now painted by some as compassionate and progressive does not make it any more sane, or any less dangerous.
post modernism is the removal of the human narrative from cultural artifacts, and is, therefore, fundamentally anti human.
There is a certain arrogance that accrues to people who jump out of airplanes
