"We are constantly taught that human life is the most sacred thing in the universe. Everyone says this: teachers in school, politicians in parliament, lawyers in court and actors on stage. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN after World War II and perhaps the closest we have come to a global constitution, categorically states that the right to life is the most fundamental value of humanity. Since death obviously deprives us of this right, it is a crime against humanity and thus we must wage war against it.

We are constantly taught that human life is the most sacred thing in the universe. Everyone says this: teachers in school, politicians in parliament, lawyers in court and actors on stage. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN after World War II and perhaps the closest we have come to a global constitution, categorically states that the right to life is the most fundamental value of humanity. Since death obviously deprives us of this right, it is a crime against humanity and thus we must wage war against it.
""Állandóan azt sulykolják belénk, hogy az emberélet a legszentebb dolog az univerzumban. Mindenki ezt mondogatja: a tanárok az iskolában, a politikusok a parlamentben, a jogászok a bíróságon és a színészek a színpadon. Az Emberi jogok egyetemes nyilatkozata, amelyet az ENSZ a második világháború után fogadott el, és amellyel talán a legközelebb jutottunk egy globális alkotmányhoz, kategorikusan kijelenti, hogy az élethez való jog az emberiség legalapvetőbb értéke. Mivel a halál nyilvánvalóan megfoszt minket ettől a jogtól, emberiségellenes bűn, és így hadat kell viselnünk ellene."
