If there were a clear prospect that such evils were part of a barbarian past, then at least we might find a small crumb of comfort. No such prospect exists: no scientific analysis can even remotely answer or account for past and present horrors of human behaviour.

Barbarians always think of themselves as the bringers of civilization.

Anyone can be a barbarian; it requires a terrible effort to remain a civilized man.

Of course the barbarians' aim of world domination has not escaped the attention of the Europeans, perhaps because unlike us they are closer to the walls.

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.

I'm not a barbarian.

We must assent to the will of Heaven above and conform to the wishes of men on earth below, but the government should assert the majesty of its warlike might in order to drive away the hordes of fierce and cruel men. We know that the dispositions of these outer barbarians are as ravenous as those of wolves.

If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.

When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?

The true barbarian is he who thinks everything barbarous but his own tastes and prejudices.
