Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.

Anyone who has proclaimed violence his method inexorably must choose lying as his principle.

Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.

Violence does not necessarily take people by the throat and strangle them. Usually it demands no more than an ultimate allegiance from its subjects. They are required merely to become accomplices in its lies.

In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.

You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again.
