“Inert objects look good on the mantelpiece. That's about all. They have no other role under the sun. Don’t be a showpiece on the mantelpiece my friend - be a mental piece, and blow your top every time you witness an injustice taking place, and do whatever is necessary to restrain the wrong.”

“The couldn't-care-less boys, the chaps who imagined that now that the war was over there was no need for further effort, the soldiers that slopped past officers without saluting, the Very Important Persons who talked eloquent tripe with their lips and dissembled in their fatty hearts, the morons and the knaves who played for the present rather than the future, the cacklers at parties and the delighters in horses' legs, they weren't trying to try because they thought that nobody else was trying to try either. It was, of course, a contagion from which the world had always suffered, but it was much more dangerous now than in the time of Charles the Second, when boys of nineteen had not been able to destroy cathedrals by pressing buttons.”

“Humanitarianism is a myth, So are humanism and charity. They are the world's way, To sustain nothing but apathy. Are you a devout hydrophile, Since you drink water so well? You are not, right - and why not! Because water is but life's essential. In the same way, kindness isn't an ism, Human helping human isn't an ideology. If they stick labels on such act of life, It is but a sign of a rather sick society.”
