“War is always about betrayal, betrayal of the young by the old, of idealists by cynics and of troops by politicians.”

“Most people would define treason as a betrayal of one's country or sovereign. In my book, the book of natural law, treason is properly defined as a betrayal of one's countrymen—and, in particular, the betrayal of the individual's right to life, liberty and property. (To your question, yes, this renders almost all politicians traitors by definition.)”

“there are different types of infidelity, but betrayal is betrayal wherever you find it.”

“Betrayal is beautiful.”

“Betrayal. That’s the first thing I feel, which is ludicrous. For there to be betrayal, there would have had to been trust first.”

“It was always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals came easily.”

“To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal. You see, I could conceive death, but I could not conceive betrayal.”

“Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.”

“I'm a cynical idealist.”
