“First you destroy those who create values. Then you destroy those who know what the values are, and who also know that those destroyed before were in fact the creators of values. But real barbarism begins when no one can any longer judge or know that what he does is barbaric.”
- Ryszard Kapuściński (b. 1932), Polish journalist: ‘A Warsaw Diary’, published in “Granta” (Cambridge), No. 15, 1985.
“Undernourished, intelligence becomes like the bloated belly of a starving child: swollen, filled with nothing the body can use.”
- Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946), American feminist critic: “Right-Wing Women”, 1978.
“The problem with kingdoms of heaven on earth is that they’re liable to come to pass, and then their fraudulence is apparent for all to see. We need a kingdom of heaven in Heaven, if only because it can’t be realized.”
- Malcolm Muggeridge (1903 - 1990), British journalist and broadcaster: ‘Me and Myself’ in “Jesus Rediscovered”, 1979.
