“If it can bleed, we can kill it.”

“If it's bleeding then kill it, if it's not bleeding, then make it bleed and kill it”

“One of the fables we live by is that some day the killing will stop. If only we rid ourselves of Chinese, white men will have jobs and white women will have virtue, and then we can stop killing. If only we rid ourselves of Indians, we will fulfill our Manifest Destiny, and then we can stop killing. If only we rid ourselves of Canaanites, we will live in the Promised Land, and then we can stop killing. If only we rid ourselves of Jews, we can build and maintain a Thousand Year Reich, and then we can stop killing. If only we stop the Soviet Union, we can stop the killing (remember the Peace Dividend that never materialized?). If only we can take out the worldwide terrorist network of bin Laden and others like him. If only. But the killing never stops. Always a new enemy to be hated is found.”

“No, no. We can kill each other later.”

“Can we behold, unheeding,Life’s holiest feelings crush’d;—While Woman’s heart is bleeding,Shall Woman’s voice be hush’d? ”

“Why is it that what we do know can save us, but what we don't know can kill us?”
