"I learned early on that war forms its own culture. The rush of battle is a potent and often lethal addiction, for war is a drug, one I ingested for many years. It is peddled by mythmakers- historians, war correspondents, filmmakers, novelists, and the state- all of whom endow it with qualities it often does possess: excitement, exoticism, power, chances to rise above our small stations in life, and a bizarre and fantastic universe that has a grotesque and dark beauty."

“How very important it is to bring about in the human mind the radical revolution. The crisis is a crisis in consciousness, a crisis that cannot anymore accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions. Considering what the world is now with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression and so on... man is still as he was, is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive and has built a society along these lines.”
“To quote a recent customer email, â€œI really appreciate your thoughtful and professional response. I donâ€™t get that a lot from customer service. Usually, itâ€™s scripted nonsense that makes it seem like Iâ€™ve done something wrong. Youâ€™ve single-handedly improved my perception tenfold. Someone there ought to give you a pay raise.”
