An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats

Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.

Dyr

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- forever.

The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded

Vitsar

The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.

War is evil, but it is often the lesser evil

Ondskap

He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him.
