• The demands of a free populace, too, are very seldom harmful to liberty, for they are due either to the populace being oppressed or to the suspicious that it is going to be oppressed… and, should these impressions be false, a remedy is provided in the public platform on which some man of standing can get up, appeal to the crowd, and show that it is mistaken. And though, as Tully remarks, the populace may be ignorant, it is capable of grasping the truth and readily yields when a man, worthy of confidence, lays the truth before it. - View Quote Details on The demands of a free populace, too, are very seldom…

• I am firmly convinced, therefore, that to set up a republic which is to last a long time, the way to set about it is to constitute it as Sparta and Venice were constituted; to place it in a strong position, and so to fortify it that no one will dream of taking it by a sudden assault; and, on the other hand, not to make it so large as to appear formidable to its neighbors. It should in this way be able to enjoy its form of government for a long time. For war is made on a commonwealth for two reasons: to subjugate it, and for fear of being subjugated by it. - View Quote Details on I am firmly convinced, therefore, that to set up a…

• A prince ought to have two fears, one from within, on account of his subjects, the other from without, on account of external powers. From the latter he is defended by being well armed and having good allies, and if he is well armed he will have good friends, and affairs will always remain quiet within when they are quiet without, unless they should have been already disturbed by conspiracy; and even should affairs outside be disturbed, if he has carried out his preparations and has lived as I have said, as long as he does not despair, he will resist every attack. - View Quote Details on A prince ought to have two fears, one from within,…

• The first opinion which one forms of a prince, and of his understanding, is by observing the men he has around him; and when they are capable and faithful he may always be considered wise, because he has known how to recognize the capable and to keep them faithful.

• We are much beholden to Machiavelli and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do. For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with the columbine innocency, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent; his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and natures of evil.

• The prince must consider, as has been in part said before, how to avoid those things which will make him hated or contemptible; and as often as he shall have succeeded he will have fulfilled his part, and he need not fear any danger in other reproaches. It makes him hated above all things, as I have said, to be rapacious, and to be a violator of the property and women of his subjects, from both of which he must abstain. And when neither their property nor honour is touched, the majority of men live content, and he has only to contend with the ambition of a few, whom he can curb with ease in many ways. It makes him contemptible to be considered fickle, frivolous, effeminate, mean-spirited, irresolute, from all of which a prince should guard himself as from a rock; and he should endeavour to show in his actions greatness, courage, gravity, and fortitude; and in his private dealings with his subjects let him show that his judgments are irrevocable, and maintain himself in such reputation that no one can hope either to deceive him or to get round him. That prince is highly esteemed who conveys this impression of himself, and he who is highly esteemed is not easily conspired against; for, provided it is well known that he is an excellent man and revered by his people, he can only be attacked with difficulty. - View Quote Details on The prince must consider, as has been in part said…
• If you only notice human proceedings, you may observe that all who attain great power and riches, make use of either force or fraud; and what they have acquired either by deceit or violence, in order to conceal the disgraceful methods of attainment, they endeavor to sanctify with the false title of honest gains. Those who either from imprudence or want of sagacity avoid doing so, are always overwhelmed with servitude and poverty; for faithful servants are always servants, and honest men are always poor; nor do any ever escape from servitude but the bold and faithless, or from poverty, but the rapacious and fraudulent. God and nature have thrown all human fortunes into the midst of mankind; and they are thus attainable rather by rapine than by industry, by wicked actions rather than by good. Hence it is that men feed upon each other, and those who cannot defend themselves must be worried. - View Quote Details on If you only notice human proceedings, you may observe that…

• The Romans never allowed a trouble spot to remain simply to avoid going to war over it, because they knew that wars don’t just go away, they are only postponed to someone else’s advantage. Therefore, they made war with Philip and Antiochus in Greece, in order not to have to fight them in Italy… They never went by that saying which you constantly hear from the wiseacres of our day, that time heals all things. They trusted rather their own character and prudence— knowing perfectly well that time contains the seeds of all things, good as well as bad. - View Quote Details on The Romans never allowed a trouble spot to remain simply…

• Of course, I don’t go along with mad old Mugabe in believing that this Government is made up exclusively of effeminate homosexuals, but you must admit that it has a higher proportion of Softies than any in recent memory - even our rampantly heterosexual leader always took the female parts in school plays, and was known by jealous classmates at various points in his education as both “Emily” and “Miranda”. And as we know from the work of artists as varied as Genet, Pasolini and Isherwood, there’s nothing like being a Softie oneself to make one admire the thug, the brute and the bully. This sad syndrome is currently a great force in popular culture, as well as in politics. The sorry spectacle of public schoolboys making films about how well-dressed, witty and cool working-class sociopaths are continues with the forthcoming Snatch, the latest film by Guy Ritchie, whose mother is a Lady, whose sister is a Tabitha, and who obviously got that impressive-looking scar by falling off his pony and landing on his silver spoon. - View Quote Details on Of course, I don’t go along with mad old Mugabe…

But they can’t hear what you’re saying. You can never really make them hear what you’re trying to say. That’s why i tried so desperately… to show somebody that i had some talent. They make you do things you don’t wanna do… like, this picture here. I started feeling repulsed with myself. Maybe i’m unfit to have a relationship with a beautiful, innocent boy.

About Apocalypse Now

Colonel Lucas: Your mission is to proceed up the Nung River in a Navy patrol boat. Pick up Colonel Kurtz’s path at Nu Mung Ba, follow it and learn what you can along the way. When you find the Colonel, infiltrate his team by whatever means available and terminate the Colonel’s command. Willard: Terminate?… the Colonel? General Corman: He’s out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And he is still in the field commanding troops. Jerry (CIA Civilian): Terminate… with extreme prejudice. Colonel Lucas: You understand, Captain, that this mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist. Chef: How come all you guys sit on your helmets? Soldier: So we don’t get our balls blown off. [Chef laughs a little, seems to think for a second and then sits on his helmet] Willard: My mission is to make it up into Cambodia. There’s a Green Beret Colonel up there who’s gone insane. I’m supposed to kill him. Chef: That’s fucking typical! Shit. Fuckin’ Vietnam mission! I’m short and we gotta go up there so you can kill one of our own guys? That’s fuckin’ great! That’s just fuckin’ great, man. Shit. That’s fuckin’.. crazy! I thought you were going in there to blow up a bridge, or, some fucking railroad tracks or somethin’. Willard: Could we, uh, talk to Colonel Kurtz? Photojournalist: Hey, man, you don’t talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man’s enlarged my mind. He’s a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean, sometimes he’ll, uh, well, you’ll say hello to him, right? And he’ll just walk right by you, and he won’t even notice you. And suddenly he’ll grab you, and he’ll throw you in a corner, and he’ll say “Do you know that ‘if’ is the middle word in life? ‘If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you’..” I mean, I’m no, I can’t – I’m a little man, I’m a little man, he’s, he’s a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas … (Note: The last sentences here reference first Rudyard Kipling’s poem If— and then T.S. Eliot’s poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.) Willard: Are you crazy, God damn it? Don’t you think its a little risky for some R&R? Kilgore: If I say it’s safe to surf this beach Captain, then it’s safe to surf this beach. I mean, I’m not afraid to surf this place, I’ll surf this whole fucking place! Kilgore: How’re you feeling, Jimmy? Door Gunner: Like a mean motherfucker, sir! [the boat has arrived at the Do Lung bridge, which is a combat zone] Chef: Lance, hey Lance. What do you think? Lance: It’s beautiful. Chef: What’s the matter with you? You’re acting kinda weird. Lance: Hey, you know that last tab of acid I was saving? I dropped it. Chef: You dropped acid? … Far out. Roxanne: Do you know why you can never step into the same river twice? Willard: Yeah, ’cause it’s always moving. Kurtz: Did they say why, Willard, why they want to terminate my command? Willard: I was sent on a classified mission, sir. Kurtz: It’s no longer classified, is it? Did they tell you? Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound. Kurtz: Are my methods unsound? Willard: I don’t see any method at all, sir. Kurtz: I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin? Willard: I’m a soldier. Kurtz: You’re neither. You’re an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill. Willard: Who’s in charge here, soldier? Infantryman: Ain’t you? … Willard: Soldier, do you know who’s in command here? The Roach: Yeah. [turns away] Willard: How long has this kid been on this boat? Chief Phillips: Seven months. Willard: He’s really specializing in busting my balls. Chief Phillips: Very possible, Captain, he thinks the same of you … Willard: Oh yeah? And what you think, Chief? Chief Phillips: I don’t think! My orders say I’m not supposed to know where I’m taking this boat, so I don’t! But one look at you and I know it’s gonna be hot, wherever it is. (Brief pause) Willard: We’re going about 70 klicks above the Do Lung bridge. Chief Phillips: That’s Cambodia, Captain. Willard: That’s classified. We’re not supposed to be in Cambodia, but that’s where I’m going. You just get me close to my destination, and I cut you and the crew loose. Chief Phillips: All right, Captain.

  I love thee to the level of everyday’s
  Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
  I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
  I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
  I love thee with the passion put to use
  In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
  I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
  With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
  Smiles, tears, of all my life! —and, if God choose,
  I shall but love thee better after death. - View Quote Details on How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

• If thou must love me, let it be for nought
  Except for love’s sake only. Do not say

  A sense of pleasant ease on such a day” -
  For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
  Be changed, or change for thee,—and love, so wrought,
  May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
  Thine own dear pity’s wiping my cheeks dry,—
  A creature might forget to weep, who bore
  Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
  But love me for love’s sake, that evermore
  Thou may’st love on, through love’s eternity’. - View Quote Details on If thou must love me, let it be for nought…

• All right, now here’s your story. The jailbreak of your dreams. It seems that expert Dr. Egelhoffer, the profound thinker from New York, was giving Williams a final sanity test in the Sheriff’s office - you know, sticking a lot of pins in him so that he could get his reflexes. Well, he decided to re-enact the crime exactly as it had taken place, in order to study Williams’ powers of co-ordination…Of course, he had to have a gun to re-enact the crime with. And who do you suppose supplied it? Peter B. Hartwell, “B” for brains…Well, the Sheriff gave his gun to the Professor and the Professor gave it to Earl, and Earl shot the Professor right in the classified ads…No ‘ads.’ Ain’t it perfect?

I went up to him like any human being would and I asked him what was the matter. And - and he told me about being fired after being on the same job for fourteen years. And I brought him up to my room because it was warm there…Aw listen to me, please. I tell ya, he just sat there talking to me all night. He never once laid a hand on me. And - and in the morning, he went away. And I never saw him again till that day of the trial.

• These chaps were not much account, really. They were no colonists; their administration was merely a squeeze, and nothing more, I suspect. They were conquerors, and for that you want only brute force — nothing to boast of, when you have it, since your strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others. They grabbed what they could get for the sake of what was to be got. It was just robbery with violence, aggravated murder on a great scale, and men going at it blind — as is very proper for those who tackle a darkness. The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much. What redeems it is the idea only. An idea at the back of it; not a sentimental pretence but an idea; and an unselfish belief in the idea — something you can set up, and bow down before, and offer a sacrifice to… - View Quote Details on These chaps were not much account, really.

• He was obeyed, yet he inspired neither love nor fear, nor even respect. He inspired uneasiness. That was it! Uneasiness. Not a definite mistrust — just uneasiness — nothing more. You have no idea how effective such a… a… faculty can be. He had no genius for organizing, for initiative, or for order even. That was evident in such things as the deplorable state of the station. He had no learning, and no intelligence. His position had come to him — why? Perhaps because he was never ill… He had served three terms of three years out there… Because triumphant health in the general rout of constitutions is a kind of power in itself. - View Quote Details on He was obeyed, yet he inspired neither love nor fear,…

• I did not go to join Kurtz there and then. I did not. I remained to dream the nightmare out to the end, and to show my loyalty to Kurtz once more. Destiny. My destiny! Droll thing life is — that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself — that comes too late — a crop of unextinguishable regrets. I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable grayness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat, in a sickly atmosphere of tepid skepticism, without much belief in your own right, and still less in that of your adversary. If such is the form of ultimate wisdom, then life is a greater riddle than some of us think it to be. I was within a hair’s-breadth of the last opportunity for pronouncement, and I found with humiliation that probably I would have nothing to say. This is the reason why I affirm that Kurtz was a remarkable man. He had something to say. He said it. Since I had peeped over the edge myself, I understand better the meaning of his stare, that could not see the flame of the candle, but was wide enough to embrace the whole universe, piercing enough to penetrate all the hearts that beat in the darkness. He had summed up — he had judged. ‘The horror!’ He was a remarkable man. After all, this was the expression of some sort of belief; it had candor, it had conviction, it had a vibrating note of revolt in its whisper, it had the appalling face of a glimpsed truth — the strange commingling of desire and hate. - View Quote Details on I did not go to join Kurtz there and then…

• The earth seemed unearthly. We are accustomed to look upon the shackled form of a conquered monster, but there — there you could look at a thing monstrous and free. It was unearthly, and the men were, — No, they were not inhuman. Well, you know, that was the worst of it — this suspicion of their not being inhuman. It would come slowly to one. They howled, and leaped, and spun, and made horrid faces; but what thrilled you was just the thought of their humanity — like yours — the thought of your remote kinship with this wild and passionate uprour. Ugly. Yes, it was ugly enough; but if you were man enough you would admit to youself that there was in you just the faintest trace of a response to the terrible frankness of that noise, a dim suspicion of there being a meaning in it which you — you so remote from the night of first ages — could comprehend. And why not? The mind of man is capable of anything — because everything is in it, all the past as well as all the future. What was there after all? Joy, fear, sorrow, devotion, valour, rage — who can tell? — but truth — truth stripped of its cloak of time. Let the fool gape and shudder — the man knows, and can look on without a wink. But he must at least be as much of a man as these on the shore. He must meet that truth with his own true stuff — with his own inborn strength. Principles? Principles won’t do. Acquisitions, clothes, pretty rags — rags that would fly off at the first good shake. No; you want a deliberate belief. - View Quote Details on The earth seemed unearthly. We are accustomed to look upon…
• It is his extremity that I seem to have lived through. True, he had made that last stride, he had stepped over the edge, while I had been permitted to draw back my hesitating foot. And perhaps in this is the whole difference; perhaps all the wisdom, and all truth, and all sincerity, are just compressed into that inappreciable moment of time in which we step over the threshold of the invisible. Perhaps! I like to think my summing-up would not have been a word of careless contempt. Better his cry — much better. It was an affirmation, a moral victory paid for by innumerable defeats, by abominable terrors, by abominable satisfactions. But it was a victory! - View Quote Details on It is his extremity that I seem to have lived…
• Going up that river was like traveling back to the earliest beginnings of the world, when vegetation rioted on the earth and the big trees were kings.

The long stretches of the waterway ran on, deserted, into the gloom of overshadowed distances. - View Quote Details on Going up that river was like traveling back to the…
• The yarns of seamen have a direct simplicity, the whole meaning of which lies within the shell of a cracked nut. But Marlow was not typical (if his propensity to spin yarns be excepted), and to him the meaning of an episode was not inside like a kernel but outside, enveloping the tale which brought it out only as a glow brings out a haze, in the likeness of one of these misty halos that sometimes are made visible by the spectral illumination of moonshine. - View Quote Details on The yarns of seamen have a direct simplicity, the whole…

• ‘His last word — to live with,’ she insisted. ‘Don’t you understand I loved him — I loved him — I loved him!’
  I pulled myself together and spoke slowly.

She was sure. I heard her weeping; she had hidden her face in her hands. It seemed to me that the house would collapse before I could escape, that the heavens would fall upon my head. But nothing happened. The heavens do not fall for such a trifle. Would they have fallen, I wonder, if I had rendered Kurtz that justice which was his due? Hadn’t he said he wanted only justice?

I saw on that ivory face the expression of somber pride, of ruthless power, of craven terror — of an intense and hopeless despair. Did he live his life again in every detail of desire, temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment of complete knowledge?

The horror!’ - View Quote Details on Anything approaching the change that came over his features I…

• We believe that Darwinism is the real Orthodox Church, because Darwinism asks you to believe in things unseen that are incredibly unlikely. Darwinism asks us to believe that out of pure random chance, we got a cell that is as complicated as a Boeing 777. Darwinism asks us to believe that one day there was nothing but mud and ooze, and the next day there was life, and very soon after there was intelligent life. Darwinism asks us to believe that you can destroy genetic material through random mutation and natural selection and yet end up with more genetic material. We don’t really ask you to believe anything that difficult; it is sort of innate in mankind to believe that there is a God, a heavenly Father and we’re asking you to just follow the consequences of that and see if possibly there could be some scientific validity to that. - View Quote Details on We believe that Darwinism is the real Orthodox Church, because…

I’ll probably find out these (intelligent design proponents) are frauds.’ But I wound up knowing a lot more than when I started.

Sometimes if you follow a ‘truth’ far enough, it becomes a lie. - View Quote Details on I went in thinking: ‘I’m not going to find out…

• [The] Third [problem with Darwinism], which I think is overwhelming, and just sort of blows the whole theory of Random Mutation out of the water, is, at least, let me say, raises big questions, that is. Assuming it all did happen by Random Mutation and Natural Selection, where did the laws of gravity come from. Where did the laws of thermodynamics come from? Where did the laws of motion and, of heat come from? Where, I guess that’s the same as thermodynamics. Where did all these laws, that make it possible for the universe to function, where did they all come from? Why isn’t all just chaos and everything collapsing in on itself and killing everything? - View Quote Details on [The] Third [problem with Darwinism], which I think is overwhelming,…
