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.

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

I was born to win, but in order to win I gotta be willing to lose.
