“
Under the intoxication of patriotism, of the desire for glory, or the fear of contempt, most men will march with apparent willingness into the face of the greatest danger. Often, it requires vastly more courage to stay home than to enlist-more courage to retreat than to fight.
Common experience shows how much rarer is moral courage than physical bravery. A thousand men will march to the mouth of the cannon where one will dare espouse an unpopular cause.”
” —Clarence Darrow, Resist Not Evil. p. 89. (via mugnaini)My prayers go out to Oslo, Norway
I hope this turns out for the best
“Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism. Let me illustrate. Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot consider themselves nobler, better, grander, more intelligent than those living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others.
The inhabitants of the other spots reason in like manner, of course, with the result that from early infancy the mind of the child is provided with blood-curdling stories about the Germans, the French, the Italians, Russians, etc. When the child has reached manhood he is thoroughly saturated with the belief that he is chosen by the Lord himself to defend his country against the attack or invasion of any foreigner. It is for that purpose that we are clamoring for a greater army and navy, more battleships and ammunition.
An army and navy represent the people’s toys.” —Emma Goldstein (via ckelly94)

Honestly, the only thing that gives me comfort you guys, is when I’m sitting at home staring at the ceiling, just wishing that I had someone to talk to, is knowing none of you idiots realize how lucky you are.
