“Atrocity is recognized as such by victim and perpetrator alike, by all who learn about it at whatever remove. Atrocity has no excuses, no mitigating argument. Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity. It is self-perpetuating upon itself — a barbarous form of incest. Whoever commits atrocity also commits those future atrocities thus bred.”

things out of their own innermost drives. People, not commercial organizations or chains of command, are what make great civilizations work.
Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces. If you over-organize humans, over-legalize them, suppress their urge to
greatness—they cannot work and their civilization collapses.”
