Today the aggressor is the shepherd of peace, and the beaten and hunted are the troublemakers of the world. What's more, there are whole races who believe it!”

“The tension has worn us out. It is a deadly tension that feels as if a jagged knife blade is being scraped along the spine.

We have no flesh, no muscle now”
