What interests me about fascism is that it is a black hole of free will. It is a system which isn't necessarily unique, but it absolves brutality, it absolves the lack of morals and it absolves people of their own decisions. When they tell you ‘you can kill these people because they are Jews, reds or homosexuals, or whatever!' In this world you can permit a brutal action on the base of collective advice; that is what scares me. View quote

The most interesting thing in nature is that two species exist, only two species, which are expansionist: mankind and insects. All other species are territorial. The insect is a devourer, an expander, it keeps on expanding so much and it doesn't even care. And mankind is like that, as well... The two species which are going to end up fighting over the world are going to be insects and human beings. View quote
