“Acts of violence-- Whether on a large or a small scale, the bitter paradox: the meaningfulness of death--and the meaninglessness of killing.”
“I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.”
“What's one more meaningless act of violence on that zoo of a planet?It would be appropriate.When in Rome; burn it.”
“The cost of growth is always a small act of violence.”
“There is no small act of kindness.Every compassionate act makes large the world.”
“Paradoxically, that large screen in the cavernous, crowdedroom creates intimacy. And violence is an intimate act. If youare punching someone, or if you are pinpointing someone inthe telescope of your rifle, you are as close to your victim as toa lover, trying to think like them, anticipate their moves, overcomethem.”
