Our political process appears to be a toxic dance of mutually assured destruction that takes all the citizens down with you, and that can't be right. So I've prepared a little experiment.
Tim Dorsey
Image
A word carries far, very far, deals destruction through time as the bullets go flying through space.
Joseph Conrad
Image
Only destruction of the enemy can be called victory.
Stepan Makarov
Image
Puppet Papademos is in place, and as Athens caught fire on Sunday night he rather took my breath away - he said violence and destruction have no place in a democratic country.
Nigel Farage
Image
Children of the future, watching empires fall. Madness the cup they drink from, self destruction the toll.
Ozzy Osbourne
Image
to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.
Cassandra Clare
Image
She wanted, with her fickleness, to make my destruction constant I want, by trying to destroy myself, to satisfy her desire.
Miguel de Cervantes
Image
It is said that those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. It may well be that a war neurosis stirred up by propaganda of fear and hatred is the prelude to destruction.
John Boyd Orr
Image
[I]t is tragic that the forces for destruction that we unleashed are stronger than man's present ability to control them.
Leslie Groves
Image
I’m increasingly attracted by the idea that there can be at least small pockets where life and character and beauty and meaning continue. If I could help protect one of those from destruction, maybe that would be enough. Maybe it would be more than most people do.
Paul Kingsnorth

But also philosophy is not about perceptible substances they, you see, are prone to destruction.
Aristotle
Image
Most of the damage suffered by the ocean up until now has been caused by local insults - overfishing, pollution, and destruction of habitats. If we tackle these problems now, we buy ourselves time to work on climate change.
Nancy Knowlton
Image
There are cases where examinations are admitted, namely, before the coroner, and before magistrates in cases of felony. That appears to me to go rather in support of the general rule than in destruction of it. Every exception that can be accounted for is so much a confirmation of the rule that it has become a maxim, Exceptio probat regulam.
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Image
Imagine the consequences if Saddam fails to comply and we fail to act. Saddam will be emboldened, believing the international community has lost its will. He will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. And some day, some way, I am certain, he will use that arsenal again, as he has ten times since 1983.
Sandy Berger
Image
Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination. The bloody solution of the crisis, the effort for the destruction of the enemy's forces, is the first-born son of war. Only great and general battles can produce great results. Blood is the price of victory.
Carl von Clausewitz
Image
There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. As this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them and who guard them.
Tommy Franks
Image
How could a society escape destruction if, when political ties are relaxed, moral ties are not tightened, and what can be done with a people master of itself if it not subject to God?
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
They seemed to forget that the increase of known truths stimulates the investigation, establishment and growth of the arts not their dimination or destruction.
Galileo Galilei
Image
You cannot talk about winning the war as long as there's killing and destruction on daily basis.
Bashar al-Assad
Image
It is a bizarre world. It is an upside down, inside out, quantum physics world. It is the eve of destruction in America.
Glenn Beck
Image
Kant argued that, where nature could be considered beautiful in her acts of destruction, human violence appeared instead as monstrous. However, a misreading of Kant in Romantic philosophy led to the idealization of the murderer as a sublime genius that has colored constructions of that criminal figure ever since.
Richard Marshall
Image
Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.
Al Gore
Image
...Nature allows Destruction nor collapse of aught, until Some outward force may shatter by a blow, Or inward craft, entering its hollow cells, Dissolve it down.
Lucretius
Image
Natural erosion had reduced the critical barrier islands in the Gulf, the result of the destruction of some 300,000 acres of wetlands. This amounted to 30 miles of marshlands.
