“It is possible that these millions of suns, along with thousands of millions more we cannot see, make up altogether but a globule of blood or lymph in the veins of an animal, of a minute insect, hatched in a world of whose vastness we can frame no conception, but which nevertheless would itself, in proportion to some other world, be no more than a speck of dust.”

“No - we will not conquer the heavens. Enough to have the power. War engenders war, and victory defeat. God, conquered, will become Satan; Satan, conquering, will become God. May the fates spare me this terrible lot; I love the Hell which formed my genius. I love the Earth where I have done some good, if it be possible to do any good in this fearful world where beings live but by rapine.”

“Semua perang tadi adalah perang demi industri. Bangsa yang tak mengenal perdagangan pula tak mengenal industri, pastilah tak memerlukan perang. Namun bangsa yang memiliki keduanya terpaksa melakukan politik penaklukan. Peningkatan jumlah perang berbanding lurus dengan peningkatan produksi industri. Begitu salah satu dari pabrik kami tidak mampu menjual hasil produksi mereka, diperlukan sebuah perang untuk membantu memberi peluang. Karena itulah pada tahun ini kami memiliki perang batu bara, perang tembaga, dan perang kapas. Kami terpaksa melenyapkan dua per tiga bangsa Selandia Ketiga agar yang tersisa mau membeli produk payung dan produk pakaian kami.”

“You cry, "give us war!" You are visionaries. When will you become thinkers? The thinkers do not look for power and strength from any of the dreams that constitute military art: tactics, strategies, fortifications, artillery and all that rubbish. They do no believe in war, which is a fantasy; they believe in chemistry, which is a science. They know the way to put victory into an algebraic formula.”

“Enquanto o Estado se contenta com os recursos que lhe fornecem os pobres, enquanto conta com subsídios bastantes que, com regularidade mecânica, lhe asseguram aqueles que trabalham com as próprias mãos, ele vive feliz, tranquilo, respeitado; os economistas e os financistas se aprazem em atestar-lhe a probidade; mas, do instante em que esse infeliz Estado, movido pela necessidade, faz menção de exigir dinheiro de quem o tem, e de tirar dos ricos alguma exígua contribuição, fazem-no sentir que ele comete um atentado odioso, que viola todos os direitos, que falta ao respeito com as coisas consagradas, que destrói o comércio e a indústria, que esmaga os pobres ao tocar nos opulentos. Não mais se dissimula seu descrédito. E ele fica entregue ao desprezo dos bons cidadãos. Entrementes, a ruína avança, lenta e infalivelmente. O Estado ameaçou as rendas. Está perdido. Os nossos ministros zombam de nós, falando do perigo clerical ou socialista. Não há senão um perigo, o perigo financeiro. A República começa a percebê-lo.”

“— O senhor sabe, meu caro mestre, que eu não sou um animal destruidor. Não tenho vocação para o militarismo. Tenho mesmo ideias humanitárias bem avançadas, e creio que a fraternidade dos povos será a obra do socialismo triunfante. Enfim, tenho amor à humanidade. No entanto, do momento em que me enfiam um fuzil na mão, sinto vontade de atirar em todo mundo. Está no sangue... (...) — O senhor não ignora, caro mestre – acrescentou –, o poder da sugestão. Basta entregar a um homem uma baioneta na ponta de um fuzil para que ele a enterre na barriga do primeiro que apareça e se torne, como diz, um herói.”

“I sought out the laws which govern nature, solid or ethereal, and after much pondering I perceived that the Universe had not been formed as its pretended Creator would have us believe; I knew that all that exists, exists of itself and not by the caprice of Iahveh; that the world is itself its own creator and the spirit its own God. Henceforth I despised Iahveh for his imposture, and I hated him because he showed himself to be opposed to all that I found desirable and good: liberty, curiosity, doubt.”

“An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.”
