In the heart of our civilization, in its shallows and in its working ghettos, we had allowed a race of barbarians to grow, who now turned against us, in our misfortunes, like wild animals, seeking to devour us. These bullies, moreover, were destroying each other as well. They burned their bodies with strong drinks and surrendered to a thousand atrocities, fighting and killing each other in immense insanity.

Thus the ancient war became an object of derision, confined that it was now in surveillance tasks. China had mocked the war, and it had reaped the war, but a state-of-the-art war, the war of the twentieth century, the war of scientists and laboratories, the war of Jacobus Laningdale. The biggest guns became toys, compared to the microorganisms launched by the laboratories, these messengers of death, these destructive angels that had spread into an empire of a billion souls.

Jack London

In the summer and fall of 1976, China was a living hell. It was impossible to avoid microscopic projectiles that infiltrated every nook and cran at least. Hundreds of millions of dead were not buried, germs multiplied and, in the end, millions of survivors died every day of famine. It also weakened victims, destroying their natural defenses against plagues. Cannibalism, murder and madness prevailed. Thus China perished.

This apparent stupidity was, I have always believed, a refinement of his mind. Like some men (I know a number of them), he considered work to be far too vulgar for him to deign to do so. After weighing the pros and cons, he concludes, I imagine, that a beating from time to time, and no work, was infinitely better than not being beaten and still working.

Flying was a manly act; begging was sordid and despicable. But I had to change that way of thinking later; I ended up seeing begging as a joyful farce, a pleasant joke, a gymnastics of audacity.
