Author of quotes: Freeman Dyson

We were not so naive to all the troubles to blame Hitler. He was only a symptom of the collapse of our civilization, not the cause of it. The Germans had enemies, fellow victims of universal madness.

Pacifism as a political movement has always suffered from the fact that its leaders were men, marked with the seal of genius. <...> And, unfortunately, of men of genius do not usually make good politicians, with rare exceptions was Gandhi. The genius and the art of political compromise does not fit with each other. Except for Gandhi, the major representatives of pacifism were rather prophets than the politicians. Jesus in Judea, Tolstoy in Russia, Einstein in Germany, each in their turn demanded of mankind of compliance with higher standards than those by which political movements can match.

By this time the war lasted so long that I could hardly remember peace. None of the living poets can't Express the emotional emptiness that allowed me to continue to participate in the killings without suffering no hatred, no remorse.

The most insulting, that no one tried to oppose us. We just didn't pay attention.

Decadent society around us, blindly stumbling to the inevitable curse, not responding to our warnings.

God is mind, outgrown the boundaries of our understanding.
