"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
And America, too, is a delusion, the grandest one of all. The white race believes—believes with all its heart—that it is their right to take the land. To kill Indians. Make war. Enslave their brothers. This nation shouldn’t exist, if there is any justice in the world, for its foundations are murder, theft, and cruelty.
自由就像我们呼吸的空气;没有它,我们会窒息。
The rules of morality are not the conclusion of our reason.
There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.
