• Si la gente destruye algo reemplazable hecho por la humanidad, se les llama vándalos; si destruyen algo insustituible hecho por Dios, se les llama promotores.

• In the west, Apollo and Dionysus strive for victory. Apollo makes the boundary lines that are civilization but that lead to convention, constraint, oppression. Dionysus is energy unbound, mad, callous, destructive, wasteful. Apollo is law, history, tradition, the dignity and safety of custom and form. Dionysus is the new, exhilarating but rude, sweeping all away to begin again. Apollo is a tyrant, Dionysus is a vandal.

  Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place. Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.

• Excessively precise economic analysis can lead to assessing everything in terms of its easily measurable melt value - the value that thieves get from stealing copper wiring from isolated houses, that vandals got from tearing down Greek temples for the lead joints holding the marble blocks together, that shortsighted timber companies get from liquidating their forests. The standard to insist on is live value. What is something worth when it's working?

• It is the relentless onward march of the texters, the SMS (Short Message Service) vandals who are doing to our language what Genghis Khan did to his neighbours 800 years ago. They are destroying it: pillaging our punctuation; savaging our sentences; raping our vocabulary. And they must be stopped.

• Las relaciones humanas con los depredadores siempre han sido espinosas. Los depredadores son las primeras criaturas que nuestra especie erradica a propósito. Con demasiada frecuencia, la gente cree que los humanos tienen y deben tener el control; nos enfurece descubrir que no es cierto. Y cuando otras criaturas comparten nuestro apetito y matan nuestro ganado (a menudo animales que nosotros mismos criábamos para matar), les llamamos vándalos y asesinos... Los depredadores son las criaturas más perseguidas de la Tierra.

• Los bereberes, entre los que aún hoy se encuentran personas de piel clara y ojos azules, no se remontan a las invasiones vándalas del siglo V d.C., sino a la prehistórica oleada humana nórdica atlántica. Los cazadores cabileños, por ejemplo, siguen siendo en gran medida totalmente nórdicos (así, los bereberes rubios de la región de Constantina constituyen el 10% de la población; en Djebel Sheshor son aún más numerosos).

• Las guerras -¿y qué es la guerra sino el crimen a gran escala?- destruyen en lugar de producir. El vándalo que destruye un escaparate hace que no sólo el propietario tenga que soportar los costes de reponerlo, sino que también los sufragan aquellos a quienes pensaba comprar con ese dinero. Lo mismo ocurre con las guerras. Los señores de la guerra -de la guerra y de la paz- destruyeron tanto, no sólo lo que existía, sino todas esas cosas nuevas que podrían haber existido, si sólo se hubiera dejado a los individuos en paz.

• Sometimes I'd see my father, walking past my building on his way to another nowhere. I could have given him a key, offered a piece of my floor. A futon. A bed. But I never did. If I let him inside I would become him, the line between us would blur, my own slow-motion car wreck would speed up. The slogan on the side of a moving company truck read TOGETHER WE ARE GOING PLACES--modified by a vandal or a disgruntled employee to read TOGETHER WE ARE GOING DOWN. If I went to the drowning man the drowning man would pull me under. I couldn't be his life raft.

• Broken Window Theory: Consider a building with a few broken windows. If the windows are not repaired, the tendency is for vandals to break a few more windows. Eventually, they may even break into the building, and if it's unoccupied, perhaps become squatters or light fires inside. Or consider a sidewalk. Some litter accumulates. Soon, more litter accumulates. Eventually, people even start leaving bags of trash from take-out restaurants there or even break into cars.

• Ordinary people aren't going to give up emotions and inspiration just because science sniffs at subjectivity. Science shouldn't be so edgy and defensive. Vandals aren't going to smash their way into laboratories and throw Bibles at the equipment.

• My favorite villain was maybe Batman. I think Vandal Savage is really cool 'cause he has the ability not to die and he's smart, but he doesn't have any gadgets, he doesn't shoot fire and he doesn't fly. He's just old school, and I love that.

• Maria Edgeworth grumbled against vandals who ruined immortal works by quoting the life out of them. "How far our literature may in future suffer from these blighting swarms, will best be conceived by a glance at what they have already withered and blasted of the favourite productions of our most popular poets." Shakespeare, Milton, and Dryden, scissored, patched, and frayed.

• La lujuria que impulsa a otros a esclavizar a un imperio, se había convertido, en sus límites, en una pasión de poder sobre él. Se había propuesto quebrarlo, como si, incapaz de igualar su valor, pudiera superarlo destruyéndolo, como si la medida de su grandeza se convirtiera así en la medida de la suya, como si el vándalo que destrozara una estatua fuera más grande que el artista que la había hecho, como si el asesino que matara a un niño fuera más grande que la madre que lo había parido.

• Ethnically, the Germans are Teutonic... being made up of Vandals, Gepidae, and Goths, all of whom emigrated - south from Sweden in about 500 BC; why they emigrated is not exactly clear, but many scholars believe it was because they saw the way Sweden was going, i.e. neutral.

• It liberates the vandal to travel-you never saw a bigoted, opinionated, stubborn, narrow-minded, self-conceited, almighty mean man in your life but he had stuck in one place since he was born and thought God made the world and dyspepsia and bile for his especial comfort and satisfaction.
