The Desire Not To Be Impinged Upon,

The Case Against The Notion Of Historical Objectivity Is Like The Case Against International Law, Or International Morality; That It Does Not Exist.

The Underlying Assumption That Human Nature Is Basically The Same At All Times, Everywhere, And Obeys Eternal Laws Beyond Human Control, Is A Conception That Only A Handful Of Bold Thinkers Have Dared To Question.

Life May Be Seen Through Many Windows, None Of Them Necessarily Clear Or Opaque, Less Or More Distorting Than Any Of The Others.

One Must Look At What Impiety Hates, What Puts It In A Rage, What It Attacks Always, Everywhere, And With Fury - That Will Be The Truth.

One Belief, More Than Any Other, Is Responsible For The Slaughter Of Individuals On The Alter Of The Great Historical Ideas - Justice Or Progress Or Happiness Of Future Generations... Or Emancipation Of A Nation Or Race Or Class... This Is The Belief That Somewhere... There Is A Final Solution.
