“From ancient to modern times, the human animal knows how to find fighting.”
“Do not think that even with these trappings and this word known as 'modern' that our lives are so far removed from the lives of the peoples that lived in ancient times.”
“Within the human, good or evil aims are never ancient. They are sometimes masqueraded when reinvented in modern means”
“We generally accept that it's natural for carnivorous wild animals to kill other animals in order to live. But people don't often think (or even know) about the extraordinary and unnatural suffering that humans inflict on the animals that we freely harvest for food, with the help of modern high technology and the animal food sciences.”
“What sets humans apart from animals is that we have to walk around saying how smart we are, and animals just live their lives.”
“It is the mark of our whole modern history that the masses are kept quiet with a fight. They are kept quiet by the fight because it is a sham-fight; thus most of us know by this time that the Party System has been popular only in the sense that a football match is popular.”
