Quotations

SHARE


Replace “Roman” with “American,” and you would struggle to find a more fitting description of US foreign policy. [From Michael Parenti, The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People’s History of Ancient Rome]



Canadian comedian Norm Macdonald, years ago:

“Hey, don't call me a cynic but I'm starting to think these blood drinking, moloch worshipping pedophiles who run our government might not have our best interests in mind.”
 
American actor and comedian, James Belushi:

Heroes are not born - they’re cornered. Oh, I was cornered. And I found out that I was no hero.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand:

Love of glory can only create a great hero; contempt of glory creates a great man.

The last two I found on the lovely substack of Alessandra Bocchi, a Catholic artist.
