Quote
Over a hundred years ago, we learned in a stupid little place that used to be called Vietnam that wars are absolutely useless for trying to change people. Who the fuck ever thought you could go to war to change people, as opposed to just obliterating them? Dumb as fuck. The only good think about wars is starting them. Because you sure as fuck can't win 'em anymore.

As for the new world war that's waiting in the womb of time, a healthily developed foetus, who can say what will spark it, how destructive it will be? We've already played at this war in film and fiction, indicating that there's a part of us that desperately wants it. What nonsense writers and filmmakers talk when they say that their terrible visions are meant as a warning. [...] It's sheer wish fulfillment. War... is a culture pattern. It's a legitimate mode of cultural transmission....

Quote
The tension has worn us out. It is a deadly tension that feels as if a jagged knife blade is being scraped along the spine. Our legs won't function, our hands are trembling and our bodies are like thin membranes stretched over barely repressed madness, holding in what would otherwise be an unrestrained outburst of endless scream.s.

વ્યક્તિ કે સમાન વિચારધારા ધરાવતીઓ વ્યક્તિઓનો સમૂહ પોતાના વિચારો, માન્યતાઓ અન્યો પર થોપવા પ્રયત્ન કરે છે અને ત્યારે વિચાર-વિગ્રહ ઉત્પન્ન થાય છે અને એમાંથી મોટા યુદ્ધો થાય છે. અને યાદ રાખજો કે ત્રીજું વિશ્વ-યુદ્ધ પોતાની બિનતાર્કિક માન્યતાઓ દુનિયા પર થોપી બેસાડવાના કારણે થશે.

It is time for the international community to work for the creation of an independent Kurdistan as they did once for the Jews after the Holocaust. The current war against ISIS, which is perceived by many as World War Three, can be compared to World War Two.

Quote
I saw battles in their eyes long forgotten by many,and never known to some, and observed some of them fall with him into that hole in the ground, I mean the part of them that remembered the fear and the rubble of distant towns, or the part that had hoped for better things afterwards.

Quote
Today, as never before, the pariah is the only man with the chance to think for himself. Everyone else is relentlessly compelled by peer pressures. Everyone constantly blackmails everyone. The threat of ostracism easily molds the soft democratic soul into fashionable shapes. The out-of-fashion individual, the outcast (perhaps the only real human being remaining) eats out of some dumpster on the edge of town.-J.R.Nyquist "Origins of the Fourth World War
