The wheels of history are rolling

I just finished reading "The History of the Chinese People". This set of books is very nourishing for people like me who don't read very much and have little knowledge of history. After reading it, I understand:
1. Decades of struggle, in the eyes of historians, are not conducive to the progress of mankind, no matter how much sacrifices are made, it is a stroke.
2. Regarding the history of bloodshed, historians like Bo Yang often lament the bloodthirsty and ignorance of human beings.
3. The fanatical supporters of nationalism who use the blood and lives of others to render their own iron and blood are the most hateful.
4. The wheels of history are rolling, and individual violent resistance can only lead to more bloodshed.

Hunger quotes

  • Father Dominic Moran: I want to know whether your intent is just purely to commit suicide here.

    Bobby Sands: You want me to argue about the morality of what I'm about to do and whether it's really suicide or not? For one, you're calling it suicide. I call it murder. And that's just another wee difference between us two. We're both Catholic men, both Republicans. But while you were poaching salmon in beautiful Kilrea, we were being burnt out of our house in Rathcoole. Similar in many ways, Dom, but life and experiences focused our beliefs differently. You understand me?

  • Bobby Sands: I'm clear of the reasons Dom. I'm clear of all the repercussions. I will act and I will not stand by and do nothing.
