Fear and Rage - QuotesDo not fear your enemies. The worst they can do is kill you. Do not fear friends. At worst, they may betray you. Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exists because of their silent consent. Yasensky Heav'n hath no rage like love to hatred turn'd, nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd. People reduced to the extremity of need are also driven to the utmost limits of their resources, and woe to any defenseless person who comes in their way. Work and wages, food and warmth, courage and goodwill - all is lost to them. The daylight dwindles into shadow and darkness enters their hearts; and within this darkness man seizes upon the weakness of woman and child and forces them into ignominy. No horror is then excluded. Desperation is bounded only by the flimsiest of walls, all giving access to vice and crime... they appear utterly depraved, corrupt, vile and odious; but it is rare for those who have sunk so low not to be degraded in the process, and there comes a point, moreover, where the unfortunate and infamous are grouped together, merged in a single fateful world. They are Les Miserables - the outcasts, the underdogs. O thou ungrateful, faithless wretch! You were afraid of being united to someone who adored you. These bonds of an everlasting chain were becoming a burden to you, and your heart, which is seduced by fickleness and frivolity alone, was not discerning or sensitive enough to be conscious of all the charms such bonds entailed. Twas the thought of leaving Paris that frightened you; my love was not enough for you; I was unable to make it last. Die, monster, born to make my life miserable, stay there in Paris forever! May it one day become, through the deceitfulness and knavery of the scoundrel who will replace me in your heart, as odious to you as your own double dealing has made it in my eyes! Letters to Madame la Presidente de Montreuil When I walk on the street counting my steps, magic keeps silent and reality stalks me. Extracts of Existence From nonexistence I entered existence and what did I find? Bad weather. Extracts of Existence Hell is when there is no reason to live and no courage to die. Extracts of Existence Heaven doesn't want me and hell is scared I am going to take over. Beware of the fury of the patient man. Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time. Genocide is like a dessert. It is made of the flesh and bones of woman and children, it is sweetened with the blood of the innocent, and it is baked in the ovens of Auschwitz. There were truths to be learnt and there was wisdom to be gained... but there was a price to to be paid as well. You could not brush up against the future and escape unscathed. You could not see into the forbidden and avoid damage to your sight. First King of Shannara Take your head, collect your bones, gather your limbs, shake the earth from your flesh! The gatekeeper comes out to you, he grasps your hand, takes you into Heaven. Old Kingdom Pyramid Text Ignorance and prejudice are the ballast of our ship of state - however, ships without ballast are not seaworthy and cannot sail in the tempests, nor reach a safe harbor. The party is not concerned with perpetuating itself. Who wields power is not important, providing that the hierarchical structure always remains the same. Progress is a comfortable disease. "Ours is a christian army;" so he said A regiment of bangomen who led. "And ours a christian navy," added he Who sailed a thunder-junk upon the sea. Better they know than men unwarlike do What is an army, and navy too. Pray God there may be sent them by-and-by The knowledge what a christian is, and why For somewhat lamely the conception runs of a brass-buttoned Jesus firing guns. I listen to money singing, it's like looking down from long French windows at a provincial town. The slums, the canal, the churches ornate and mad in the evening sun. It is intensely sad... The Christian view that all intercourse outside marriage is immoral was, as we see in the above passages from St. Paul, based upon the view that all sexual intercourse, even within marriage, is regrettable. A view of this sort, which goes against biological facts, can only be regarded by sane people as a morbid aberration. The fact that it is embedded in Christian ethics has made Christianity throughout its whole history a force tending towards mental disorders and unwholesome views of life. Lust is the cause of generation Appetite is the support of life Fear or timidity is the prolongation of life, and Fraud the preservation of its instruments. One, with God, is always a majority, but many a martyr has been burned at the stake while the votes were being counted. God is DEAD, and no one cares! If there is a hell I'll see you there! Piss off Satan and don't take me for dumber than I look. Maybe this world is another planet's hell. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. Modern capitalism, organising the reduction of all social life to a spectacle, cannot offer any other spectacle than that of our own alienation. Vaneigem You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one. As the fly bangs against the window attempting freedom while the door stands open, so we bang against death ignoring heaven. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. It is impossible to defend perfectly against the attack of those who want to die. Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried. The hands that help are better far than the lips that pray. I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty - I call it the one mortal blemish of mankind. In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point. A Christian is a man who feels repentance on Sunday for what he did on Saturday and is going to do on Monday. Die? I should say not, dear fellow. No Barrymore would allow such a conventional thing to happen to him. Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways. It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. If we catch a glimpse of freedom, we wish to possess it; if we catch a glimpse of death, we want nothing to do with it. One we cannot have, the other we cannot avoid. The brave don't live forever, but the cautious don't live at all. Here's to the brave! What does not destroy me, makes me stronger. Education is the process of driving a set of prejudices down your throat. The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote. Faith: not wanting to know what is true. In heaven all the interesting people are missing. There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it. Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy. |
