• Heaven grew weary of the excessive pride and luxury of China... I am from the Barbaric North. I wear the same clothing and eat the same food as the cowherds and horse-herders. We make the same sacrifices and we share.. our riches. I look upon the nation as a new-born child and I care for my soldiers as though they were my brothers.

• Like the Arthurian years at Camelot, the Sixties constituted a breakthrough, a fleeting moment of glory, a time when a significant little chunk of humanity briefly realised its moral potential and flirted with its neurological destiny, a collective spiritual awakening that flared brilliantly until the barbaric and mediocre impulses of the species drew tight once more the curtains of darkness.

• We attacked a foreign people and treated them like rebels. As you know, it's all right to treat barbarians barbarically. It's the desire to be barbaric that makes governments call their enemies barbarians.

• English is the largest of human tongues, with several times the vocabulary of the second largest language -- this alone made it inevitable that English would eventually become, as it did, the lingua franca of this planet, for it is thereby the richest and most flexible -- despite its barbaric accretions . . . or, I should say, because of its barbaric accretions. English swallows up anything that comes its way, makes English out of it.

• I was raised in a religious home. It was unreasonable enforced religion that turned me off it. It was a joyless, unpleasant, stupid, barbaric thing when I was a child and I've never gotten over that feeling. If you're talking about religion it's one thing; I don't hold Jewish religion with any more seriousness than I would any other.

• The dismembering of a human being routinely in 30 minutes on an outpatient bases - or any other way - is barbaric. Four blocks from our church all year long - like churches within smelling distance of Auschwitz or Dachau or Buchenwald.

• It takes a disciplined imagination to acknowledge that the less personal savageries of bombs, missiles, artillery and heavy weapons are, to those blown to smithereens, also barbaric. The main horror of what the coalition is doing is not a matter of the occasional soldier who, in the heat of battle, commits a war crime, but the steady destruction rained on cities, villages, the Iraqi people. This violence is wreaked calmly, from a distance, within the rules of engagement. The war itself is the American war crime.

• Architecture is, to a certain extent, a sensual gratification. It addresses itself to the eye, and affords the best scope for the parade of barbaric pomp and splendour. It is the form in which the revenues of a semi-civilized people are most likely to be lavished. The most gaudy and ostentatious specimens of it, and sometimes the most stupendous, have been reared by such hands. It is one of the first steps in the great march of civilization.

• Recuerda, el gobierno no es una organización ilustrada diseñada para promover el bienestar público. Es una fuerza bárbara, incivilizada... poder militar y policial puesto al servicio de los que lo controlan. Sí, hay restricciones en la forma en que los de dentro utilizan su poder. Por ejemplo, hay "controles y equilibrios" en la Constitución. Y existen normas culturales y prohibiciones tradicionales. Pero con el tiempo, las normas y las tradiciones desaparecen, como los analgésicos. Y entonces, el dolor del gobierno crudo comienza de nuevo.

• Una de las cosas que he visto cambiar y que me alegra el corazón es lo que está ocurriendo en la industria cosmética. Durante años, se hacían cosas horribles a los animales en la fabricación de cosméticos, y pruebas de lo más bárbaras; hoy, si vas a una farmacia y recorres el pasillo [de los cosméticos], fíjate en cuántos de ellos dicen que no se hacen pruebas con animales. He hablado con gente que trabaja en los departamentos de cosméticos y me dicen que sin eso no se pueden vender. Y eso es maravilloso.

• If the immigrant is responsible for assimilation of the country, and some of these people are in fact are born there.

• Like all of Latin America, Mexico after independence in 1821 turned its back on a triple heritage: on the Spanish heritage, because we were newly liberated colonies, and on our Indian and black heritages, because we considered them backward and barbaric. We looked towards France, England and the U.S., to become progressive democratic republics.
