What is ridiculous about human beings, Doctor, is actually their total incapacity to be ridiculous.
That's a little misleading. De las Casas wasn't operating in the area of what would later be the US; more Central America and the Caribbean.

Also, the title you quote there is from a Protestant reprint of his work for propaganda purposes, hence the broad attempt to implicate the Pope (a strange thing for a Bishop to be doing). It'd be the equivalent of telling Charles V and the Pope to go gently caress themselves, then sailing back to Spain to see their faces.

Karel Čapek's War with the Newts. Hard to go wrong with Čapek - a generous, inventive, widely-admired writer; reminds me a bit of Bulgakov.
