»Es gibt Menschen auf Eurer Erde«, entgegnete der Geist, »die uns kennen wollen und die ihre Taten des Stolzes, der Missgunst, des Hasses, des Neides, des Fanatismus und der Selbstsucht in unserm Namen tun; die uns in allem, was zu uns

“We swarmed through Africa and America because we were better than they, of course we were, we were making war humane, and now it has broken down and they are dragged into hell with us. We have doomed the world with our advancements, with our democracy that is so much better than whatever they’ve thought of, with our technology that will so improve their lives, and now Algerian men must choke to death on their own melted insides in wet Belgian trenches and I—”
