This blue-eyed hag was hither brought with child and here was left by th’ sailors. Thou, my slave, as thou report’st thyself, wast then her servant. And, for thou wast a spirit too delicate to act her earthy and abhorred commands, refusing her grand hests, she did confine thee, by help of her more potent ministers and in her most unmitigable rage, into a cloven pine, within which rift imprisoned thou didst painfully remain a dozen years; within which space she died and left thee there, where thou didst vent thy groans as fast as mill wheels strike.

Had these people been of an unfriendly temper, we could not by any possibility have escaped them, for our horses could not have broken into a canter to save our lives or their own. We were therefore wholly in their power, although happily for us, they were not aware of it; but, so far from exhibiting any unkind feeling, they treated us with genuine hospitality, and we might certainly have commanded whatever they had.

We have now to deal with another people, small and feeble when our forefathers first met with them, but now great and overbearing. Strangely enough, they have a mind to till the soil, and the love of possessions is a disease in them. These people have made many rules that the rich may break, but the poor may not! They have a religion in which the poor worship, but the rich will not! They even take tithes of the poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule.

“Until now it has been practice that we have been treated like serfs, which is deplorable, since Christ redeemed all of us with his precious blood, both the shepherd and the nob-leman […]. Accordingly we hereby declare that we are free […].”

“Those who burn books will in the end burn people.”

“The denial of a universality based on the equality of human beings […] continues to this day. […] The dark side of European ethics is no longer as dark as it once was, but it is still in great need of light.”

What can we do other than resist? (…) It will not be easy to retaliate for their crimes against our people, because every step we take will meet with massive and arbitrary retribution. (…) But the fate of our people on this one is already certain. The sentence has been sealed with the blood of millions of helpless Jews. We can either die with them or try to avenge their deaths. Our vengeance will have to be rampant and merciless.

For the power of inclosing Land, and owning Propriety, was brought into the Creation by your Ancestors by the Sword; which first did murther their fellow Creatures, Men, and after plunder or steal away their Land, and left this Land successively to you, their Children. And therefore, though you did not kill or theeve, (…) you justifie the wicked deeds of your Fathers; and that sin of your Fathers, shall be visited upon the Head of you, and your Children, to the third and fourth Generation, and longer too, till your bloody and theeving power be rooted out of the Land.

1. Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be based only on considerations of the common good. 2. The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of Man. These rights are Liberty, Property, Safety and Resistance to Oppression. 3. The principle of any Sovereignty lies primarily in the Nation. No corporate body, no individual may exercise any authority that does not expressly emanate from it. 4. Liberty consists in being able to do anything that does not harm others.

As soon as I had some into this sea, I took by force some Indians from the first island, in order that they might learn from us, and at the same time tell us what they knew about affairs in these regions. This succeeded admirably; for in a short time we understood them and they us both by gesture and signs and words; and they were of great service to us. They are coming now with me, and have always believed that I have come from Heaven …

“Self-defence is an inalienable human right, and the tactics of confronting the regime will change to ensure that persons defend their right to life and limb.”

We want to give Judaism the position in our public and state life which it accords according to God’s clearly and clearly revealed will. God scattered the Jews into captivity among all peoples as a punishment. It is therefore a sin for a Christian nation to abandon its most sacred public and state affairs to the prisoners of God and thereby to the cooperation of anti-Christian influences. As Christians we have the duty to grant the Jews protection and justice, to put them as fellow human beings before the civil law completely on an equal footing with us, but to exclude them in principle from our citizenship, not because they are Semites or Jews, but because they are non-Christians (Antichrists ) are.

I am German and I do not want to accept that our beautiful Germany, our freedom and even our humanity goes to the dogs. And she will go to the dogs if we don’t drive this gang that holds the state in its claws and torments the people to the devil. When the government locks the people up. Then the people must lock up the government.

I was focusing on the politics—mass action, going to Bisho [site of a definitive showdown between demonstrators and police] (…) But that was not the real struggle—the real struggle was over economics. And I am disappointed in myself for being so naive.

If we have to drive our people to paradise with sticks, we will do it!

It’s eating itself up, so to speak. The problem with profits that are derived from the financial system is that you can only derive them by creating bubbles, and you can only create so many bubbles before they burst.

You have to be amazed, outraged and infected, that’s the only way to change reality. What improves healing is the affective contact between one person and another. What heals is joy, what heals is the absence of prejudice.”

Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed; then Eve.

Take up the White Man’s burden–Send forth the best ye breed–Go bind your sons to exile, To serve your captives’ need; To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild–Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.

no one leaves home unless. home is the mouth of a shark. you only run for the border. when you see the whole city running as well.
