― Mokokoma Mokhonoana, On Friendship: A Satirical Essay

“I continue to marvel at this. We got incredibly angry when the city of Palmyra, Syria, was destroyed by IS because the city was reminiscent of pre-Muslim times, shall we say. And I see this as an extension of that. It is nonsense to think that you can erase a past that you don't like.”
― Piet Emmer

“Is there any good left in the world? And if there is, can you still find it in the places that matter? Why is it that the only places I see it now, is in the graves of the victims, and the tears of those who mourn them?”
― Christina Engela, Pearls Before Swine

“Being called gay is not an insult – but the idea that some people think of it as an insult, is.”

“Is the drive to refuse gay blood motivated by a fear of contracting HIV/AIDS, or does it speak of the irrational fear that receiving blood from gay people will somehow make them gay?”
― Christina Engela, Pearls Before Swine

“If the people who institute civil partnerships for gay couples think they sound 'just as good as marriage' - why don't they get 'civl partnershipped' then? I suppose because 'marriage' has a nicer ring to it - and that is reserved for straight people.”
― Christina Engela, Pearls Before Swine

“Predication may be unconventionally, but not really inaccurately, defined as, 'Whatever is done by the word is in such a sentence as: a horse is an animal; the earth is a planet.' If I say a horse is an animal; then a) if by the word animal I mean something more, or less, or other than horse, I have told a lie; but b) if I do not mean by the word animal something more, or less, or other than horse, I have said almost nothing. For I might was well have said a horse is a horse. Hence the attempts we are now witnessing to replace the traditional logic based on predication by a new logic, in which symbols of algebraic precision refer to 'atomic' facts and events having no vestige of connection with the symbols and no hierarchical relation to each other.”
― Owen Barfield, Saving the Appearances: A Study in Idolatry

“Ik blijf me daarover verbazen. We zijn ontzettend boos geworden toen de stad Palmyra, Syrië, door IS vernietigd werd omdat de stad herinnerde aan de pre-mohammedaanse tijd, zal ik maar zeggen. En ik zie die oproepen om namen te veranderen die gelinkt zijn aan slavenhandel in het verlengde. Het is onzin om te denken dat je een verleden dat niet bevalt kunt uitwissen.”
― Piet Emmer, Het zwart-witdenken voorbij: Een bijdrage aan de discussie over kolonialisme, slavernij en migratie

“Our worst enemies are not the radical moslims or the terrorists of Islamic State (IS), our worst enemies are our own politicians who collaborate with Islam. Cicero knew: “A nation can survive its fools but it cannot survive treason from within.”
― Filip Dewinter

“Islamitische Staat is als een bliksemafleider waar alle spanningen en frustraties samenkomen. We leven in een goor neoliberaal tijdperk, en mensen worden door het economische systeem aan de kant gezet. Ze worden steeds overbodiger, kijk maar naar de berichten over de nieuwe golf automatiseringen die op komst is. De strenge islam biedt buitengesloten jongeren een sterke identiteit en groepsgevoel, en daarbovenop een staat die je de kans geeft om iemand te zijn, om avontuur te beleven, om te ‘leven’ tout court. In 2012 had je nog een soort idealisme bij jongeren die naar Syrië trokken. Ze gingen tegen dictator Bashar Al-Assad vechten. Naïef, maar begrijpelijk. Maar nu is Islamitische Staat puur fascistoïde geworden. Iedereen die zich daar nu nog bij aansluit is medeplichtig aan oorlogsmisdaden.”
― Teun Voeten

“Islamitische Staat is de ideologie van de haat in de praktijk gebracht. Daarom dat het ook zo succesvol is: er is een grondgebied, een land waar je de haat tegen ongelovigen zomaar in de praktijk kan brengen. Niet alleen jonge mannen, maar ook jonge vrouwen vinden het best geil daar. Men zegt dat ze maar met honderden zijn, de Belgische Syriëstrijders, en dat dat niet veel is. Maar tel daar de actieve sympathisanten bij op, de complotdenkers, de conservatieve moslims die IS misschien niet steunen, maar ook niet afvallen, en je bent al met veel.”
― Teun Voeten

“It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is.”
― Bill Clinton
