I consider Bush's decision to call for a war against terrorism a serious mistake. He is elevating these criminals to the status of war enemies, and one cannot lead a war against a network if the term war is to retain any definite meaning.
Jurgen Habermas

You can't do without philosophy, since everything has its hidden meaning which we must know.
Maxim Gorky

The old saying that war is a racket has taken on an even more shameful meaning.

Graham Greene

God created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed - that is the meaning of evolution.
Graham Greene

Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.
