“He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”
Albert Einstein
“He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.”
“Hatred comes from the heart; contempt from the head; and neither feeling is quite within our control”
Arthur Schopenhauer
“Antipathy, dissimilarity of views, hate, contempt, can accompany true love.”
Marshall McLuhan
“As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.”
William Blake
“Practice the vocabulary of love - unlearn the language of hate and contempt.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“It's not that we hate Mississippi, it's that it has two senators that have absolute contempt for the proper way to spend money.”
David Williams
