Liam’s Quotes

“To imagine that the United States somehow is inoculated from the virus of authoritarianism is to submit to misguided hubris.”

“Communism would exit the world stage revealed for what it truly was: fascism, without fascism’s ability to make the trains run on time.”
― Robert D. Kaplan, Balkan Ghosts

“It is not possible to ensure the success of political, psychological and socio-economic measures by means of military actions alone, for success depends on the quality of the political leadership.”
― Abdul Haris Nasution, Pokok-pokok Gerilya: dan Pertahanan Republik Indonesia di Masa Lalu dan Yang Akan Datang

“It may go without saying that the majority of the musicians in this book hate "musicians". Hence walking into a music store of any kind besides a record shop is tantamount to visiting the dentist.”
― Eric Davidson, We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001

“As things went from bad to worse all men came to learn by experience that man's innate wickedness knows no limit: when it feeds on the knowledge of the past, and when the licence which impunity bestows encourages it to victimise all whom it encounters, it seems to swell inevitably to such proportions that it is not even possible for the minds of the sufferers to grasp its immensity.”
― Procopius, The Secret History
