“Inconsistency and deceit were the underlying characteristics of all the actions of their leaders. Their speech was deceitful, and so was their silence. They got up with a lie, and they went to sleep with a lie. Their discipline was a lie, their code of laws a lie, their judgments a lie, their German a lie, their science a lie, their sense of justice and their faith were lies. Their nationalism, their socialism were lies, their ethical philosophy was a lie, and so was their love. Everything was a lie, only one thing about them was genuine: their hate!”

“Everywhere persecutors were making offers to the persecuted to save their positions or their wealth, provided that they might share in the profits. When one came to look at it closely, the entire Nationalist revolution resolved itself into millions of small commercial transactions, conducted on reciprocal terms.”

“Even in the days of the Romans they had considered that a code of laws applicable equally to all men was contrary to the honor of individuals. If they hated the Romans, it was not because the latter wished to impose Roman law but because the Romans wished to impose any law upon them. They preferred to be judged by the decree of one superior person, in whom they trusted, rather than by definite laws, drawn up by the dictates of reason.”
