“In urging all writers to be steadfast in reliance on the ultimate victory of excellence, we should no less strenuously urge upon them to beware of the intemperate arrogance which attributes failure to a degraded condition of the public mind. The instinct which leads the world to worship success is not dangerous. The book which succeeds accomplishes its aim. The book which fails may have many excellencies, but they must have been misdirected.” WorldShouldMindMayHas BeensBookFailingConditionsDangerousVictorySucceedWorshipUltimateAimExcellenceInstinctAccomplishArroganceUrgesAttributesRelianceSteadfast Book:The Principles of Success in Literature Source: The Principles of Success in Literature
“Germany, which has lately united 80 million Germans, has submitted certain neighboring countries to her supremacy and gained military strength in many aspects, and thus has become, as clearly can be seen, a dangerous rival to principal imperialistic powers in Europe - England and France.

It is now clearer than ever, how remote the real aims of the cabinets in these countries were from the interests of defending the now disintegrated Poland or Czechoslovakia.” WarRealCountryCertainGivenInterestUnitedMillionsMilitaryDangerousEuropeAspectEnglandAimObligationFranceGermanyPrincipalFulfillingRivalsCabinetsSupremacyPolandPretextCzechoslovakia Author:Vyacheslav Molotov
“The population becomes the internal enemy. Any sign of life, of protest, or even mere doubt, is a dangerous challenge from the standpoint of military doctrine and national security. So complicated mechanisms of prevention adn punishment have been developed ... To operate effectively, the repression must appear arbitrary. Apart from breathing, any human activity can constitute a crime ... State terrorism aims to paralyze the population with fear.” HumansHas BeensStatesChallengesEnemyDoubtSecurityMilitaryDangerousCrimeActivityAimMerePopulationComplicatedTerrorismPunishmentDoctrineBreathingInternalsProtestMechanismNational SecurityArbitraryRepressionStandpointPreventionHuman ActivitySigns Of Life Author:Eduardo Galeano
