More From Philip Roth

We are not especially 'interested in' animals. neither of us had ever been inordinately fond of dogs, cats, or horses in the way that many people are. we didn't 'love' animals.
Dog Horse Cat
We are not utopians, we do not “dream” of dispensing at once with all administration, with all subordination. these anarchist dreams, based upon incomprehension of the tasks of the proletarian dictatorship, are totally alien to marxism, and, as a matter of fact, serve only to postpone the socialist revolution until people are different. no, we want the socialist revolution with people as they are now, with people who cannot dispense with subordination, control, and "foremen and accountants".
Dream People Different
Subordination to morality can be slavish or vain or self- interested or resigned or gloomily enthusiastic or thoughtless or an act of despair, just as subordination to a prince can be: in itself it is nothing moral.
Self Despair Morality
You have to be very fond of men. very, very fond. you have to be very fond of them to love them. otherwise they're simply unbearable.
Love Philosophical Men
I abhor unjust war. i abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. i abhor violence and bloodshed. i believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it. i respect all men and women who from high motives and with sanity and self-respect do all they can to avert war. i advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and i should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor.
Bullying Strong War
If donald trump dismantles the agreement [the "iran nuclear deal"] won by president barack obama with president hassan rouhani and the iranian government and people: if he dismantles that, and puts greater sanctions on iran, then we are leading to another war; another war inspired by israel, another war that will bring china into war, russia into war, europe into war. and the western world, in this war, will be taken completely down, and a whole new world is on the horizon.

It was the time of the cold war and so there were was a lot of pressure on the - to get going and the russians were claiming that they were - soviets were claiming they were ahead of us in technology. and so it was against that backdrop that the early space flights took off.
War Technology Space Flight
I believe - though i may be wrong, because i'm no expert - that this war is about what most wars are about: hegemony, money, power and oil.
War Believe Oil
Softly sweet, in lydian measures, soon he sooth'd his soul to pleasures. war, he sung, is toil and trouble; honour but an empty bubble; never ending, still beginning, fighting still, and still destroying. if all the world be worth the winning, think, oh think it worth enjoying: lovely thais sits beside thee, take the good the gods provide thee.
Sweet War Fighting
