Terrors Quotes (page 2)

Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i. e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire's flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It's not desiring the fall; it's terror of the flames. And yet... David Foster Wallace
There are two kinds of terrorism. Rational terrorism such as Palestinian terrorism and apocalyptic terrorism like Sept. 11. You have to distinguish between the two. Alan Dershowitz
You can't think about terrorism without thinking about Palestinian terrorism. Palestinians began international terrorism. It started with them in 1968. They used it as the first resort, not the last resort. They invented it, they perfected it, they benefited from it and they taught the world how to use it and that it would be successful. Alan Dershowitz
George Wald quote: "Nuclear weapons offer us nothing but a balance of terror, and..."
Nuclear weapons offer us nothing but a balance of terror, and a balance of terror is still terror. George Wald
The purpose of terrorism lies not just in the violent act itself. It is in producing terror. It sets out to inflame, to divide, to produce consequences which they then use to justify further terror. Tony Blair
Hamid Karzai quote: "If it is terrorism, if it is war on terror, then the Afghan..."
If it is terrorism, if it is war on terror, then the Afghan people will join you on terror. Hamid Karzai
My own terror of appearing sentimental is so strong that I’ve decided to fight against it, some; but the terror is still there. . . . Do you identify with a distaste/fear about sentimentality? Do you agree that, past a certain line, such distaste can turn everything arch and sneering and too ironic? Or do you have your own set of abstract questions to drive yourself nuts with? David Foster Wallace
Howard Zinn quote: "How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?"
How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism? Howard Zinn
The world divides into those who like the managed induction of terror and those who don’t. I do not find terror exciting. I find it terrifying. David Foster Wallace
We have no reason to mistrust our world, for it is not against us. Has it terrors, they are our terrors; has it abysses, those abysses belong to us; are dangers at hand, we must try to love the? How should we be able to forget those ancient myths about dragons that at the least moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Rainer Maria Rilke
The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me? George Orwell
In the dull twilight of the winter afternoon she came to the end of a long road which had begun the night Atlanta fell. She had set her feet upon that road a spoiled, selfish and untried girl, full of youth, warm of emotion, easily bewildered by life. Now, at the end of the road, there was nothing left of that girl. Hunger and hard labor, fear and constant strain, the terrors of war and the terrors of Reconstruction had taken away all warmth and youth and softness. About the core of her... Margaret Mitchell
I would meet you upon this honestly. I that was near your heart was removed therefrom To lose beauty in terror, terror in inquisition. I have lost my passion: why should I need to keep it Since what is kept must be adulterated? I have lost my sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch: How should I use them for your closer contact? T. S. Eliot
Noam Chomsky quote: "It's only terrorism if they do it to us. When we do much worse..."
It's only terrorism if they do it to us. When we do much worse to them, it's not terrorism. Noam Chomsky
The story of terrorism is written by the state and it is therefore highly instructiv? compared with terrorism, everything else must be acceptable, or in any case more rational and democratic. Guy Debord
