“Only a person who feels he will lose will demand equality as a universal principle…People can only be equal in respect of those characteristics having the least value. Equality as a purely rational idea can never stimulate desire, will, or emotion. But resentment, in whose eyes the higher values never find favor, conceals its nature in the demand for equality. In reality, it wants nothing less than the destruction of all those who embody those higher values which arouse its anger… Just as we are not up against justice but rather up against vengeance, so we are not truly up only against proponents of equality, but also against those who hold a pathological desire for destruction.”

“What becomes permissible to do to Israel will ultimately be considered permissible to do to the rest of the West. Challenges to policies have mutated into attacks on the country’s foundations.”

“If you criticize a black person who’s more liberal, you are racist. Whereas you can do whatever to me… and that’s fine because you’re not really black, because you’re not doing what we expect black people to do. That’s just the way it is.”

“One could not see them without feeling it was the first chapter of a novel.”

“The people of resentment are intent on forbidding the best emotions. What are those emotions? The most important, without doubt, is gratitude… Only a person intent on great evil would be denied or deny themselves this crucial human attitude. Without an ability to feel gratitude, all of human life and human experience is a marketplace of blame, where people tear up the landscape of the past and present hoping to find other people to blame and upon whom they can transfer their frustrations. Without gratitude, the prevailing attitudes of life are blame and resentment, because if you do not feel any gratitude for anything that has been passed on to you, then all you can feel is bitterness over what you have not got.”
