Memorable Quotes[]

  • "When sapiens feel safe, they're the nicest people you could meet. However, feed their inner demons, frighten them, find reasons for them to divide themselves from otherness, and then watch those selfsame sapiens drop bombs on whole cities, drive planes into buildings and happily herd millions of their own kind into gas chambers."[2]
