Sacrifice (n.) is a practice which we've turned inward. We're still incredibly religious, but instead of 'sacrificing' others, we 'sacrifice' ourselves, and then we 'sacrificed our God', and we are left with 'the nothing' of science.
Sacrifice (n.) is, for women, such that man should fear woman when she loves, for a woman in love makes any sacrifice, and everything else seems without value to her.
Sacrifice (n.) does not bring value to our actions, for a sacrifice is ultimately a sacrifice to our longing for the attainment or conservation of our sense of power.
Sacrifice (n.) , with time, was refined so that we no longer sacrificed others, but we sacrificed ourselves instead to a God (i.e. our will, our freedom, and our strength) and then sacrificed our God to science.
Sacrifice (n.) is never selfless — Whoever has really sacrificed anything knows that he wanted and got something in return.
Sacrifice (n.) lends value to whatever it is made for: a brave army is a convincing argument for the cause it fights for.
Sacrifice (n.) makes things right in the eyes of the fettered: a war begun against the nation's will is carried on with enthusiasm once sacrifices have been made.
Sacrifice (n.) is preferred when great, because only the great one pays us back in self-admiration.
Sacrifice (n.) withheld from a woman who longs to be sacrificed turns her unawares from sacrificial beast into sacrificial priest.
Sacrifice (n.) is how Christians since Paul discharge their dissatisfaction with themselves — onto the world, history, reason, other people's joy: something good has to die for their sin.
Sacrifice (n.) looks different to the sacrificial animal, which does not share the spectators' ideas about it — but it has never been allowed its say.
Sacrifice (n.) is never free: anyone who has really made one knows he wanted and got something in return — perhaps something of himself for something of himself, giving up here to be more there.
Sacrifice (n.) of one's life for a cause proves nothing: people have given their lives for pretty girls — and, worse, their health.
