The true barbarian is he who thinks everything barbarous but his own tastes and prejudices.
Barbarians always think of themselves as the bringers of civilization.
Only barbarians are not curious about where they come from, how they came to be where they are, where they appear to be going, whether they wish to go there, and if so, why, and if not, why not.

There is so much that must be done in a civilized barbarism like war.
