Citat

Visst var Gustav II Adolf och Karl X Gustav erövrarkungar – men utan erövringar hade vi antagligen inte haft något Sverige alls, för i motsats till vad ett eller annat utvalt folk påstår så har Gud aldrig kommit till oss, pekat på Sveriges plats på jorden och sagt att ”detta ska vara ert land”.
Herman Lindqvist

Man cannot remake himself without suffering. For he is both the marble and the sculptor.
Alexis Carrel

On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
Fight Club

Kryptering fungerar.
Edward Snowden

You are not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your fucking khakis.
Tyler Durden

Det finns bara ett gott, kunskap, och ett ont, okunnighet.
Sokrates

Vad ska man göra när ett fartyg med hundratals passagerare plötsligt kapsejsar, men det bara finns en livbåt? När livbåten är full kommer de som hatar livet att försöka fylla den med fler, och sänka alla. De som älskar och respekterar livet kommer att ta en yxa och hugga av de extra händer som klamrar sig fast vid relingen.
Pentti Linkola

Dying societies accumulate laws like dying men accumulate remedies.
Nicolás Gómez Dávila

This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw

Det är bättre att vara en soldats änka, än en ynkryggs hustru.
Shakespeare

Because I found modern life absolutely unacceptable, I grew increasingly hopeless until, at the age of 24, I arrived at a kind of crisis: I felt so miserable that I didn’t care whether I lived or died. But when I reached that point, a sudden change took place: I realized that if I didn’t care whether I lived or died, then I didn’t need to fear the consequences of anything I might do. Therefore I could do anything I wanted. I was free! That was the great turning-point in my life because it was then that I acquired courage, which has remained with me ever since. It was at that time, too, that I became certain that I would soon go to live in the wild, no matter what the consequences.
Ted Kaczynski

Om vi tänker oss en somaliska med 70 i IQ och burka. Det är möjligt att det går att övertala henne att ta av sig burkan, om man tycker sånt är viktigt, men vad ska man göra åt IQ-nivån? Det är ju inte möjligt att genomföra hjärntransplantationer.
Henrik Agerhäll

Better men have been through worse.
Rob Rundo

Frihetens träd måste tid efter annan förfriskas med patrioters och tyranners blod.
Thomas Jefferson

If they are Black, it’s a gang, if they are Italians, a mob, but if they are Jewish, it is a coincidence, and you should never speak about it!
Dave Chappelle

Part of the intimacy with nature that you acquire, is the sharpening of your senses. Not that your hearing or eyesight become more acute, but you notice things more. In city life you tend to be turned inward, in a way. Your environment is crowded with irrelevant sights and sounds, and you get conditioned to block most of them out of your consciousness. In the woods you get so that your awareness is turned outward, toward your environment, hence you are much more conscious of what goes on around you. For example, you’ll notice inconspicuous things on the ground, such as edible plants or animal tracks. If a human being has passed through and has left even just a small part of a footprint, you’ll probably notice it. […] If you hear a sound that you can’t identify, it immediately catches your attention, even if it’s so faint that it’s barely audible. To me this alertness, or openness of one’s senses, is one of the greatest luxuries of living close to nature. You can’t understand this unless you’ve experienced it yourself.
Ted Kaczynski
