A Fatalist at War Quotes

“Many fine men pass by, and are swallowed up in the dust of the road before you can get a proper look at them.”
― Rudolf Binding, A Fatalist at War

“States are like gamblers; they lie themselves into believing that they have any amount in their pockets, and when a number turns up for them they think that they have won. Is it possible that any people can show, or will ever be able to show, a gain, whether it be in land, subjects, war indemnity, trade advantages, alliances, or whatever it may be, that will compensate for the losses that every nation has suffered through the time the game has lasted?”
― Rudolf Binding, A Fatalist at War
