in Quotes & Aphorisms (Enemy)
One thought only preoccupies the submerged mind of Empire: how not to end, how not to die, how to prolong its era. By day it pursues its enemies. It is cunning and ruthless, it sends its bloodhounds everywhere. By night it feeds on images of disaster: the sack of cities, the rape of populations, pyramids of bones, acres of desolation.

Treachory and violence are spears pointed at both ends, they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies.

Which do you believe most likely to enter an insane convention, a body of English gentlemen honoured by the favour of their Sovereign and the confidence of their fellow-subjects, managing your affairs for five years, I hope with prudence, and not altogether without success, or a sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself?

I am my best friend and my worst enemy, I know who to thank when I'm happy and who to take it out on when I'm sad! Only by doing this do I have complete freedom from people, being a slave to yourself, at least you're lord and slave and you can decide your position, giving pain or pleasure to yourself only!

Some men think about the defects of their friends, and there is nothing to be gained by it. What people commonly call Fate is, as a general rule, nothing but their own stupid and foolish conduct.I have always paid attention to the merits of my enemies, and found it an advantage.
