Frequently Asked Questions

What does this collection of "enemies" quotes cover?
It ranges from a political observation about who needs protection, to family estrangement, a security-policy framing of "the enemy," and a personal reflection on deserving one's own enemies.
Does a quote here talk about protecting minorities?
Yes: "Governments exist to protect the rights of minorities. The loved and the rich need no protection: they have many friends and few enemies."
Is family conflict covered in this collection?
One quote lists it starkly - fathers turning on children, siblings becoming "inveterate enemies," spouses deserting each other - before contrasting it with how "a mother's love endures through all."
Does this collection include any political or security commentary?
Yes, restrained: one quote frames it as a security question - "We need to ask who is the enemy, and the enemies are terrorists." That's presented as the speaker's own framing in a policy discussion, not a claim about any specific group endorsed by this page.
Is there a more personal take on enemies here?
Yes: "I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends." See the Friends collection for the flip side.
