• Los judíos destruían tanto a griegos como a romanos. Comían la carne de sus víctimas, se hacían cinturones con sus entrañas y se embadurnaban con su sangre... En total, 220.000 hombres perecieron en Cirene y 240.000 en Chipre, y por esta razón ningún judío puede poner un pie en Chipre hoy en día.

Everything is supposed to be very quiet after a massacre, and it always is, except for the birds. And what do the birds say? All there is to say about a massacre, things like "Poo-tee-weet?

• The piled-up dead of political violence are a generic staple of our information diet these days, and according to the generic report all massacres are created equal: the dead are innocent, the killers monstrous, the surrounding politics insane or nonexistent...The anonymous dead and their anonymous killers become their own context. The horror becomes absurd.

• I could wish there were a treaty made between the French and the English theatres, in which both parties should make considerableconcessions. The English ought to give up their notorious violations of the unities, and all their massacres, racks, dead bodies, and mangled carcasses, which they so frequently exhibit upon their stage. The French should engage to have more action, and less declamation, and not to cram and to crowd things together to almost a degree of impossibility from a too scrupulous adherence to the unities.

• Los campos de esclavos bajo la bandera de la libertad, las masacres justificadas por la filantropía o el gusto de lo sobrehumano, paralizan el juicio. El día en que el crimen se reviste de inocencia, por una curiosa inversión peculiar de nuestra época, es la inocencia la que está llamada a justificarse. El propósito de este ensayo es aceptar y estudiar ese extraño desafío.
