Inhumanity Quotes - Page 3

• The concept of humanity is an especially useful ideological instrument of imperialist expansion, and in its ethical-humanitarian form it is a specific vehicle of economic imperialism. Here one is reminded of a somewhat modified expression of Proudhon’s: whoever invokes humanity wants to cheat. To confiscate the word humanity, to invoke and monopolize such a term probably has certain incalculable effects, such as denying the enemy the quality of being human and declaring him to be an outlaw of humanity; and a war can thereby be driven to the most extreme inhumanity.

• Israel will never get true security and safety through oppressing another people. A true peace can ultimately be built only on justice. We condemn the violence of suicide bombers, and we condemn the corruption of young minds taught hatred; but we also condemn the violence of military incursions in the occupied lands, and the inhumanity that won't let ambulances reach the injured.

• The FDA, NCI and ACS, and the large treatment centres work to eliminate choice of cancer therapies, particulary better ones. They openly attack breakthroughs made by "mavericks", which they define as anyone outside their ranks. Folks, any serious study of how these entities work together to destroy hopeful approaches to cancer reveals a trail of corruption, conspiracy, dishonesty, and inhumanity that warrants desigantion of evil........We continue to use them not because they work, but because those who perform them have so vigorously eliminated any other choice.

• A pesar de la visión y la sabiduría previsora de nuestros jefes de estado en tiempos de guerra, los físicos han sentido la responsabilidad peculiarmente íntima de sugerir, de apoyar y, al final, en gran medida, de lograr la realización de las armas atómicas. Tampoco podemos olvidar que estas armas, tal y como se utilizaron de hecho, dramatizaron sin piedad la inhumanidad y la maldad de la guerra moderna. En una especie de sentido crudo que ninguna vulgaridad, ningún humor, ninguna exageración puede extinguir del todo, los físicos han conocido el pecado; y éste es un conocimiento que no pueden perder.

• Las objeciones a la religión son de dos clases: intelectuales y morales. La objeción intelectual es que no hay razón para suponer verdadera ninguna religión; la objeción moral es que los preceptos religiosos datan de una época en que los hombres eran más crueles de lo que son y, por lo tanto, tienden a perpetuar inhumanidades que, de otro modo, la conciencia moral de la época superaría.

• Crees que el fin justifica los medios, por viles que sean. Yo te digo: el fin es el medio para conseguirlo. El paso de hoy es la vida de mañana. Los grandes fines no pueden alcanzarse con medios viles. Lo habéis demostrado en todas vuestras convulsiones sociales. La mezquindad y la inhumanidad de los medios os hacen mezquinos e inhumanos y hacen inalcanzable el fin.
