I do not see why I should be polite to tyrants, who slobber of humanitarianism and think only of their own petty interests.

Better abridge petty Charges, than stoop to petty Gettings.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
Humanitarianism is rude.
Fernando Pessoa
The English are polite by telling lies. The Americans are polite by telling the truth.
Malcolm Bradbury
I have met them at close of day
Coming with vivid faces
From counter or desk among grey
Eighteenth-century houses.
I have passed with a nod of the head
Or polite meaningless words,
Or have lingered awhile and said
Polite meaningless words.William Butler Yeats
We are contrary creatures, us humans, but that isn't something we need be afraid of, or even much troubled by. And if you make a list of those people who worship consistency, you'll find they're one and all tyrants or would-be tyrants. Ruling over thousands, or over a husband or a wife, or some cowering child. Never fear contradiction, Cutter, it is the very heart of diversity.
Steven Erikson
