Les cimetières sont pleins de gens irremplaçables, qui ont tous été remplacés. -- Georges Clemenceau
(The cemeteries are full of irreplaceable people--all of whom have been replaced)
-----------------------------------------
"¡Éste es el templo de la inteligencia! ¡Y yo soy su supremo sacerdote!"
"Venceréis, pero no convenceréis. Venceréis porque tenéis sobrada fuerza bruta; pero no convenceréis, porque convencer significa persuadir. Y para persuadir necesitáis algo que os falta: razón y derecho en la lucha."--Miguel de Unamuno
A fascist general was ranting at the start of the brutal Spanish Civil War in 1936. He was yelling "¡Viva la muerte (long live death)!" and "¡Muera la inteligencia(death to intelligence)!"
Rector of the University of Salamanca, Unamuno, at 72, in poor health, responded: "This is the temple of intelligence! And I am its high priest!" and then followed, addressing the Fascist general: "You will conquer, but you will not convince. You will conquer because you have overwhelming brute force; but you will not convince, because to convince means to persuade. And to persuade, you need something you lack: reason and righteousness in the fight."
It is deceivingly difficult to translate "razón y derecho" exactly here. By themselves, they are not difficult, but Unamuno's context makes both words open to various ways of translating them. By the way, the Fascists DID win (with the help of Hitler and Mussolini). When Francisco Franco was named "Caudillo (sort of Führer)" of Spain, he called it the "culminating point in the history of the world." It wasn't. Thirty-six years after his "victory," Franco was gone, and so was Fascist rule in Spain.
----------------------------------------------
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.--Thomas Jefferson

And so, at one table for four at a restaurant in Washington DC in July, 2010, two "who-the-hell-are-they?" guys (me and my brother) sat down for an extended lunch with Howard Dean and Helen Thomas.

"The loneliest people are the kindest,
the saddest people smile the brightest,
and the most damaged people are the wisest.
All because they don't wish to see others suffer
like they do." -- I don't know who said this, or when, but it sounded true.
The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality. -- Arthur Schopenhauer
"Reverence for Life says that the only thing we are really sure of is that we live and want to go on living. This is something that we share with everything else that lives, from elephants to blades of grass. So we are brothers and sisters to all living things, and owe to all of them the same care and respect that we wish for ourselves."
James Brabazon, Albert Schweitzer's biographer (concerning Schweitzer's philosophy of Reverence for Life)
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique, and not too much imagination.
-- Christopher Isherwood -- Think about this one. Good luck (life is all about luck), good health, and a rather dull mind. The perfect recipe for self-satisfied contentment. BTW, the health and lack of imagination(empathy), both products of luck. It's all about luck.
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made. -- FDR (hat tip to Andrew Yang and his ubi).
Visitors from another world would, by definition, be far more advanced than us. And they would, of course, find much to learn about us, but... almost nothing at all to learn from us. -- I can not imagine any alien life, super impressively able to keep their shit together long enough to develop interstellar space travel, would consider us as anything more than an interesting curiosity for their scientists to study
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
-- Jiddu Krishnamurti -- I find great comfort in this one
But after a while you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing.
-- Hunter S. Thompson, from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. One of a few books that made me laugh out loud.

(3,595 posts)"Whenever a 'good faith exception' is made to a law, the way is left open to much bad faith." I.G. Aritzmendi.
"Law enforcement ought to be drilled to a most scrupulous respect for the rights of the citizenry. Where the police are permitted to abuse the citizens to enforce the laws, it will not be long before they abuse the citizens for their own private profit. An unbridled and uncontrolled constabulary is always a corrupt constabulary. " Eldarion Lathria
