“Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.” KnowsMeanDoeLyingReligionOrderSpeakLeadershipDestructionMereLawyerLiarsPortionsDeceivingDeceptiveCraftsman Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“By 'coming to terms with life' I mean: the reality of death has become a definite part of my life; my life has, so to speak, been extended by death, by my looking death in the eye and accepting it, by accepting destruction as part of life and no longer wasting my energies on fear of death or the refusal to acknowledge its inevitability. It sounds paradoxical: by excluding death from our life we cannot live a full life, and by admitting death into our life we enlarge and enrich it.” MeanRealityEyeEnergySpeakSoundTermAcceptingOur LivesDestructionAcknowledgeDefiniteFear Of DeathRefusalParts Of LifeAdmittingInevitabilityParadoxicalFull LifeReality Of Death Author:Etty Hillesum
“I have issued the command, and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad, that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death's-head formation in readiness, for the present only in the East, with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space which we need.

“Trump has a clear goal: the division of Europe and the destruction of the European domestic market. The fact that Brexit propagandist Nigel Farage was the first European he received in his tower speaks volumes. That is why we must strengthen the European domestic market and work even more closely together in Europe. That is absolutely compulsory for Germany.” FirstsFactsTogetherSpeakGoalClearTrumpEuropeDestructionGermanyDivisionVolumeTowersCompulsoryPropagandistClear Goals Author:Martin Schulz
“I believe until fairly recently our destructions of nature were more or less unwitting -- the by-products, so to speak, of our ignorance or weakness or depravity.

“It is subversive to set up inquisitions like this, state or national, into the thoughts and consciences of Americans. . . . It is subversive for commissions like this to spread hysteria and intimidation throughout the land that Americans are afraid to sign petitions, afraid to read progressive magazines, afraid to make out checks for liberal causes, afraid to join organizations, afraid to speak their mind on public issues. Americans dare not be free citizens!

“Is It Unloving to Speak of Hell? If you were giving some friends directions to Denver and you knew that one road led there but a second road ended at a sharp cliff around a blind corner, would you talk only about the safe road? No. You would tell them about both, especially if you knew that the road to destruction was wider and more traveled. In fact, it would be terribly unloving not to warn them about that other road.” IfsGivingFactsWould BeSpeakHellSafeDestructionBlindCornersTraveledCliffsDenver Book:Heaven Source: Heaven
“I hope that no one present will suspect me of offering my personal criticism of the Western system to present socialism as an alternative. Having experienced applied socialism in a country where the alternative has been realized, I certainly will not speak for it. The well-known Soviet mathematician Shafarevich, a member of the Soviet Academy of Science, has written a brilliant book under the title Socialism; it is a profound analysis showing that socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death.” HumansWellsHas BeensBookCountrySpiritSpeakKnownWrittenMankindTypeMembersCriticismDestructionProfoundWesternBrilliantSocialismAlternativesTitlesAnalysisSuspectsShadeSovietOfferingMathematicianWell KnownHuman SpiritAcademy Author:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
