Their entrenched positions involve a continuous, systematic, ruthless destruction of elements of permanence essential to cultural activity  (Destruction Quotes) Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe, the less taste we shall have for destruction  (Destruction Quotes) We do not want our world to perish. But in our quest for knowledge, century by century, we have placed all our trust in a cold, impartial intellect which only brings us nearer to destruction  (Destruction Quotes) Without an understanding of myth or religion, without an understanding of the relationship between destruction and creation, death and rebirth, the individual suffers the mysteries of life as meaningless mayhem alone  (Destruction Quotes) Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away  (Destruction Quotes) The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction  (Destruction Quotes) It cannot be denied that for a society which has to create scarcity to save its members from starvation, to whom abundance spells disaster, and to whom unlimited energy means unlimited power for war and destruction, there is an ominous cloud in the distance though at present it be no bigger than a man’s hand  (Destruction Quotes) There is no virtue in being uncritical; nor is it a habit to which the young are given. But criticism is only the burying beetle that gets rid of what is dead, and, since the world lives by creative and constructive forces, and not by negation and destruction, it is better to grow up in the company of prophets than of critics  (Destruction Quotes) We’re all sick of holy wars and bloodshed because religion is supposed to give us life and a better life and is supposed to bring out our best self.

And over him is gathering the greatest storm of all his days. Such lightening and thunder will come there has never been seen before, bringing death and destruction. People hurry home past him, to places safe from danger. And whether they do not see him there in the grass, or whether they fear to halt even a moment, but they do not wake him, they let him be  (Destruction Quotes) I know not what to call this, nor will I urge that it is a secret, overruling decree, that hurries us on to be the instruments of our own destruction, even though it be before us, and that we rush upon it with our eyes open  (Destruction Quotes) She has always been a bystander in family destruction, never realizing she herself possessed the capacity to inflict it  (Destruction Quotes) Dawn came on us like a betrayer; it seemed as though the new sun rose as an ally of our enemies to assist in our destruction  (Destruction Quotes) Sometimes they rose up inside her, these moments of fierce happiness, kindling out of their own substance like a spark igniting a mound of grass. It was a joy to be alive, a strange and savage joy, and she stood there in the warmth and destruction of it knowing it could not last  (Destruction Quotes) A woman who does not know herself has no choice other than to live with other people’s evaluations. But no one can adapt perfectly to public opinion.

That is a big point if you know enough to realize what I mean. It makes my destruction inevitable, you see. There are few who understand that  (Destruction Quotes) I see little hope for democracy as an effective form of government, but I admire the poetry of how it makes its victims complicit in their own destruction  (Destruction Quotes) Manga is virtual. Manga is sentiment. Manga is resistance. Manga is bizarre. Manga is pathos. Manga is destruction. Manga is arrogance. Manga is love. Manga is kitsch. Manga is sense of wonder. Manga is … there is no conclusion yet  (Destruction Quotes)
