The Outside Intervention QUOTES

1 " I don’t understand,” the Special Corps commander repeated. He looked confused.
“That’s it! You don’t understand anything, you jackass!” Darius III turned red-faced. “The worst thing for our enemies is not repression, not war, or even death. The worst thing for them is routine! Everyday existence. That’s what really kills them. This is the main reason for the existence of the Empire. "

2 " Most people are robots-executors, not very much unlike animals. They are not even aware of the true motives of their behavior. They make the majority among simples, and among vors, and among outs. On the other hand, there is a minority, robots-rulers, who are aware of themselves, of the motives of their actions, and are able to control them to a certain extent. This is the only real freedom available to people. "

3 " If there is no God, then there is no freedom. And no democracy either.” Katrina paused and added, “The ancients made two serious mistakes. First, they put society above the soul of each human and moral principles. Second, they began to understand society as a biological population. The strongest and most aggressive scums inevitably ended up at the top. They decided what was ‘common good’, and everyone else was turned into slaves. "

4 " There are people who have a well-developed mind, but they negated the God. And where there is no the God, demons appear. A man can move away from the monkey, but it doesn’t mean that he will come to the God. He can come to Ahriman. "

5 " As I found out back in the reservation, fear can suppress sexual desires, but it can also arouse them. It’s a strange paradox.”
“Yes, I see,” Kier said. “I’m afraid of you too … a little. Sometimes it deprives me of potency, but more often this fear, hmm … terribly excites me. Of course, it looks different from your side. I would like you to trust me more, in bed, in particular. "

6 " Our world is an illusion, we are nothing, nothing can be changed, but the process of life itself has some value. ‘The movement is everything, the ultimate aim is nothing!’ Religion, science, creativity, and culture, in this concept, are just games with illusions and symbols. The most correct answer to the question ‘how much is twice two?’ is ‘how much do you need?’. Thus, the concepts of truth, good, and evil become meaningless. Certain illusions are no better than others. "

7 " If some fools believe in gods, demons, magic, black cats, and other nonsense, that’s not such a big deal. It’s even useful. Let them play. But if people like you begin to believe in these fantasies, then it’s an alarming symptom. There’s nothing more dangerous for a stable society than an intelligent, active idealist who fancies whatever he might. "

8 " If people consider themselves to be cattle, then they need a master. "

9 " History is not ‘the use of information about the past for political purposes’, as the deceitful ‘scientists’ claim. History is the memory of the people of the past. About their beliefs, achievements, mistakes, and crimes. This is one of those abilities that distinguish us from animals. "

10 " Do not confuse human ideas about the God with divine ideas! We need to know what is written about the God in the ancient books, but we must be careful about it. Fundamentalism is no less dangerous than atheism. Ahriman has many names and many hands. "

11 " Normal young people go to nightclubs and restaurants, not to libraries!" the head of the ImpSec said sarcastically. "Reading books is a dangerous activity. "

12 " I came to the conclusion that the world is not ruled by power and money, as many people believe. These are just tools. The world is ruled by ideas and emotions. "

13 " In the war of ideas, which is the most important of all wars, the first thing to do is to destroy or discredit the enemy’s ideas,” Kier read. “It is effective to use the logic of the absurd for this, imposing false alternatives on the principle of choice between the executioner and the victim. "

14 " Hell is not demons with horns and hot pans! It is a world without the God. Without meaning, without hope, without love and freedom. Only existential sickness. Complete spiritual destruction, which will sooner or later be followed by physical destruction. As a species, we have no value. "

15 " Archaeological evidence suggests that the first, most ancient cities were built around temples,” Kier commented. “And then, around such religious centers, agriculture began, then trade, finance, crafts. The state appeared even later. This indirectly confirms your words. But it’s not that simple. People are not divided into good idealists and bad atheists. Many do not believe in the God but try to behave as if He exists. Some kind of existential schizophrenia. Such self-deception can last long, until meeting a real atheist.”
“A maniac always defeats a schizophrenic,” said Enrique. "

16 " The young man’s thoughts returned to Katrina.
I can instill love in her, but it will be just sexual passion with elements of submissive sacrifice. Outs don’t know how to do it otherwise. This is not true love! Although, for Katrina the suggested emotions will be indistinguishable from the true ones, and perhaps she will even be happy. But will I be happy? I will know that this is all a dastardly deception. That I turned a real human with a living soul into a bio-robot. I will destroy both my soul and hers. Isn’t that the intention of the emperor and Dark? If I kill, start torturing or process Katrina, then I will become similar to them. Turn another human into a submissive object, and then get sated with someone else’s body and emotions. This cannibalistic understanding of love is the signature style of outs. I must avoid this trap.
But I love Katrina! "
