“No fui en la infancia como los otros
ni nunca vi como los otros vieron.
Mis pasiones ya no podía
hacer brotar de fuentes iguales a las de ellos;
y era otro el origen de mi tristeza,
y era otro el canto que despertaba
mi corazón para la alegría.
Todo lo que amé lo amé solo.
Así en mi infancia, en el alba
de mi tormentosa vida, irguióse,
desde el fondo de todo bien o todo mal,
desde cada abismo, encadenándome,
el misterio que envuelve mi destino.”
“No fundamentalist undercurrent ran through the national culture before the first war. Sufism had always been the predominant Muslim sect, and Wahhabism was a foreign, wartime import. A few times a year, Arab Wahhabis came through the village in search of recruits. They promised rations, shelter, an eternity in Paradise, and, until that day of glorious martyrdom, a monthly salary of two hundred and fifty U.S. dollars. Few young men followed the monochromatic Wahhabi faith, but many were quite willing to be radicalized for a monthly salary that eclipsed what they would otherwise earn in a year. The war of independence so quickly conflated with jihad because no one cared about the self-determination of a small landlocked republic. Arab states would gladly fund a war of religion, but not one of nationalism. And in this way it didn’t matter who won the war between the Feds and fundamentalists: the notion of a democratic and fully sovereign Chechnya would be crushed regardless.”

“No fundo, uma guerra sem piedade é canibalismo por outros meios;
canibalismo civilizado que em vez de morder usa a bala,
os obuses, e uma ou outra bomba, mais cara,
que cai lá de cima.
Alguém virado para trás se enganou nos cálculos,
só podemos ser herdeiros de animais extremamente carnívoros
e de bombistas certeiros.”

“No general description of the mode of advance of human knowledge can be just which leaves out of account the social aspect of knowledge. That is of its very essence. What a thing society is! The workingman, with his trade union, knows that. Men and women moving in polite society understand it, still better.
