Popular Quotes And Their Visualizations

"Your mission is to subjugate to the grateful yoke of reason the unknown beings who live on other planets, and who are perhaps still in the primitive state of freedom. If they will not understand that we are bringing them a mathematically faultless happiness, our duty will be to force them to be happy. But before we take up arms, we shall try the power of words."



"Why is a dance beautiful? Answer: because it is an unfree movement. Because the deep meaning of the dance is contained in its absolute, ecstatic submission, in the ideal non-freedom."



"It is clear that the history of mankind as far as our knowledge goes, is a history of the transition from nomadic forms to more sedentary ones. Does it not follow that the most sedentary form of life (ours) is at the same time, the most perfect one?"



"The State (humanitarianism) forbade in those days the murder of one person, but it did not forbid the killing of millions slowly and by half."



A dark, abstract image with a smoky texture features a quote about the inability to depict violence and the complexities of humanitarianism, reflecting on moral contradictions. A desolate landscape features a crumbling wall with The State inscribed, overlooking a foggy cityscape with a distant clock tower and a solitary child, evoking the stark contrasts of humanitarianism.

"strokes of inspiration,—an extinct form of epilepsy."



"we, people of today, we know all too well that dreaming is a serious mental disease."



"If human liberty is equal to zero, man does not commit any crime. That is clear. The way to rid man of criminality is to rid him of freedom."

"Only rational and useful things are beautiful: machines, boots, formulae, food"
