“The US has unthinkingly embarked upon a neoimperial policy that must involve us in virtually every great war of the coming century-and wars are the death of republics. If we continue on this course of reflexive interventions, enemies will one day answer our power with the weapon of the weak-terror, and eventually cataclysmic terrorism on US soil.” IfsWarCoursesAnswersEnemyCenturyPolicyOne DayWeaponsWeakTerrorTerrorismSoilRepublicInterventionGreat War Author:Pat Buchanan

“I get inspiration from things that have nothing to do with painting: caricature, items from newspapers, sights in the street, proverbs, nursery-rhymes, children's games and songs, nightmares, desires, terrors. ... That question [why do you paint?] has been put to me before and my answer was, 'To give terror a face.' But it's more than that. I paint because I can't help it.” GivingChildrenHas BeensArtI CanHelpingInspirationFacesDesireSongGamesAnswersStreetsPaintingSightPaintTerrorNewspapersNightmareRhymeItemsBecause I CanNurseryCaricaturesNursery Rhymes Book:Paula Rego Source: Paula Rego
“Warped with satisfactions and terrors, woofed with too many ambiguities and too few certainties, life can be lived best not when we have the answers - because we will never have those - but when we know enough to live it right out to the edges, edges sometimes marked by other people, sometimes showing only our own footprints.” PeopleKnowsLifeSometimesEnoughAnswersEdgesTerrorSatisfactionCertaintyAmbiguityFootprint Author:Rosalie Maggio
“The nineteenth and twentieth centuries have given us as much terror as we can take. We have paid a high enough price for the nostalgia of the whole and the one, for the reconciliation of the concept and the sensible, of the transparent and the communicable experience. Under the general demand for slackening and for appeasement, we can hear the mutterings of the desire for a return of terror, for the realization of the fantasy to seize reality. The answer is: Let us wage a war on totality; let us be witnesses to the unpresentable; let us activate the differences.” WarEnoughWholeRealityDesireGivenDifferencesAnswersFantasyCenturyReturnDemandConceptsPaidTerrorNostalgiaRealizationWitnessSensibleReconciliationTransparentTwentieth CenturyTotalityActivateAppeasementMuttering Author:Jean-Francois Lyotard
