All men are intellectuals, but not all men have in society the function of intellectuals Picture Quote #1

To tell the truth is revolutionary Picture Quote #1

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born Picture Quote #1

The philosophy of praxis does not aim at the peaceful resolution of existing contradictions in history and society, but is the very theory of these contradictions. It is not the instrument of government of the dominant groups in order to gain the consent and exercise hegemony over the subaltern classes. It is the expression of subaltern classes who want to educate themselves in the art of government and who have an interest in knowing all truths, even the unpleasant ones, and in avoiding the impossible deceptions of the upper class, and even more their own Picture Quote #1

I would like you to understand completely, also emotionally, that I’m a political detainee and will be a political prisoner, that I have nothing now or in the future to be ashamed of in this situation. That, at bottom, I myself have in a certain sense asked for this detention and this sentence, because I’ve always refused to change my opinion, for which I would be willing to give my life and not just remain in prison. That therefore I can only be tranquil and content with myself Picture Quote #1

The gentleman, therefore is a cultural person in the noblest sense of the word, if by culture we mean not simply wealth of intellectual knowledge but also the ability to fulfil one’s duty and understand one’s fellow man by respecting / every principle, every opinion, every faith that is sincerely professed Picture Quote #1

One must speak for a struggle for a new culture, that is, for a new moral life that cannot but be intimately connected to a new intuition of life, until it becomes a new way of feeling and seeing reality Picture Quote #1

After puberty the personality develops impetuously and all extraneous intervention becomes odious... Now it so happens that parents feel the responsibility towards their children precisely during this second period, when it is too late Picture Quote #1

I give culture this meaning: exercise of thought, acquisition of general ideas, habit of connecting causes and effects... I believe that it means thinking well, whatever one thinks, and therefore acting well, whatever one does Picture Quote #1

The old is dying and the new cannot be born. In this interregnum there arises a great diversity of morbid symptoms Picture Quote #1
