Extinction Quotes

“Unlike my brother, I had no respect for authority. Very early on, Uncle Georg had told me the truth about teachers: that they were moral cowards who took out on their pupils all the frustrations they could not take out on their wives. When I was very young Uncle Georg impressed upon me that among the educated classes teachers were the basest and most dangerous people, on a par with judges, who were the lowest form of human life. Teachers and judges, he said, are the meanest slaves of the state--remember that. He was right, as I have discovered not just hundreds but thousands of times. No teacher and no judge can be trusted as far as you can throw him. Without scruple or compunction they daily destroy many of the existences that are thrown upon their mercy, being motivated by base caprice and a desire to avenge themselves for their miserable, twisted lives--and they are actually paid for doing so. The supposed objectivity of teachers and judges is a piece of shabby mendacity, Uncle Georg said--and he was right. Talking to a teacher we soon discover that he is a destructive individual with whom no one and nothing is safe, and the same is true when we talk to a judge.”

“Haris yıkıcılar işbaşında, sorumsuz sömürücüler, üstlerine sosyalizm kılıfını geçirmişler. Yok ediciler iş başında, katiller. Karşımızda yok ediciler ve katiller var, her köşe bucakta öldürücü çalışmalarını sürdürüyorlar. Yok edici ve katiller kentleri öldürüyor ve onları yok ediyorlar. Kocaman kıçlarıyla devletin her bir köşesinde binlerce ve yüz binlerce makamda oturuyor ve kafalarında yok etme ve katletmekten başka bir düşünce taşımıyorlar.”
