“The ruling classes have in their hands the army, money, the schools, the churches, and the press. In the schools, they kindle patriotism in the children by means of histories describing their own people as the best of all peoples and always in the right. Among adults they kindle it by spectacles, jubilees, monuments, and by a lying patriotic press. Above all, they inflame patriotism in this way: perpetrating every kind of harshness and injustice against other nations, they provoke in them enmity towards their own people, and then in turn exploit that enmity to embitter their people against the foreigner.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“Выдуманное зло романтично, разнообразно. Реальное зло мрачно, монотонно, пустынно, скучно. Выдуманное добро скучно, реальное добро — всегда новое, чудесное, упоительное.”
― Симона Вейль

“Остап со вчерашнего дня еще ничего не ел. Поэтому красноречие его было необыкновенно.”
