Occidentalism Quotes

“And one clouded stream that never ran dry was that choked with the scum of humanism, the poison spewed out by the factory at its headwaters.

The pollution from that factory degraded the exalted fervor to kill; it withered the green of the sakaki's leaves.”

― Tiziano Terzani, Lettere contro la guerra
