Text Quotes
Everybody gets everything handed to them. The rich inherit it. I don't mean just inheritance of money. I mean what people take for granted among the middle and upper classes, which is nepotism, the old-boy network  (Which Quotes) I believe that one of the principle ways in which we acquire, hold, and digest information, is via narrative, so I hope you will understand when the remarks I make begin with the first sentence of our childhood, that we all remember, the phrase: Once upon a time  (Which Quotes) When a thing is said to be not worth refuting you may be sure that either it is flagrantly stupid - in which case all comment is superfluous - or it is something formidable, the very crux of the problem  (Which Quotes) Reason, that which we call reason, reflex and reflective knowledge, the distinguishing mark of man, is a social product  (Which Quotes) And love, above all when it struggles against destiny, overwhelms us with the feeling of the vanity of this world of appearances and gives us a glimpse of another world, in which destiny is overcome and liberty is law  (Which Quotes) Absolute relativism, which is neither more nor less than skepticism, in the most modern sense of the term, is the supreme triumph of the reasoning reason  (Which Quotes) And thus the soul pities God and feels itself pitied by him; loves Him and feels loved by Him, sheltering its misery in the bosom of the eternal and infinite misery, which, in eternalizing itself and infinitizing itself, is the supreme happiness itself  (Which Quotes) There is nothing truly real, save that which feels, suffers, pities, loves and desires, save consciousness. And we need God in order to save consciousness; not in order to think existence, but in order to live it; not in order to know the why and how of it, but in order to feel the wherefore of it  (Which Quotes) And this God, the living God, your God, our God, is in me, is in you, lives in us, and we live and move and have our being in Him. And he is in us by virtue of the hunger, the longing, which we have for Him, He is Himself creating the longing for Himself  (Which Quotes) The very same reason which one man may regard as a motive for taking care to prolong his life may be regarded by another man as a motive for shooting himself  (Which Quotes) The greatest height of heroism to which an individual, like a people, can attain is to know how to face ridicule; better still, to know how to make oneself ridiculous and not to shrink from the ridicule  (Which Quotes) For it is the suffering flesh, it is suffering, it is death, that lovers perpetuate upon the Earth. Love is at once the brother, son, and father of death, which is its sister, mother, and daughter. And thus it is that in the depth of love there is a depth of eternal despair, out of which spring hope and consolation  (Which Quotes) He who steals my purse steals trash, but he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him, and makes me poor indeed  (Which Quotes) I never even realized I was Jewish until I was practically grown up. Or rather, I used to feel that everybody in the world was Jewish, which amounts to the same thing  (Which Quotes) This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century - solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others  (Which Quotes) Every man is free to rise as far as he's able or willing, but the degree to which he thinks determines the degree to which he'll rise  (Which Quotes) Love is that splendid triggering of human vitality the supreme activity which nature affords anyone for going out of himself toward someone else  (Which Quotes) Life is an operation which is done in a forward direction. One lives toward the future, because to live consists inexorably in doing, in each individual life making itself  (Which Quotes) The difficulties which I meet with in order to realize my existence are precisely what awaken and mobilize my activities, my capacities  (Which Quotes) The good is, like nature, an immense landscape in which man advances through centuries of exploration  (Which Quotes) The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him  (Which Quotes) In this initial illimitableness of possibilities that characterizes one who has no nature there stands out only one fixed, pre-established, and given line by which he may chart his course, only one limit: the past  (Which Quotes) Meditation on any theme, if positive and honest, inevitably separates him who does the meditating from the opinion prevailing around him, from that which... Can be called public or popular opinion  (Which Quotes) Order is not pressure which is imposed on society from without, but an equilibrium which is set up from within  (Which Quotes) If the human intellect functions, it is actually in order to solve the problems which the man's inner destiny sets it  (Which Quotes) The truth is that no horizon is especially interesting by itself, by virtue of its peculiar content, and that any horizon, wide or narrow, brilliant or dull, varied or monotonous, may possess an interest of its own which merely requires a vital adjustment to be discovered  (Which Quotes) Men play at tragedy because they do not believe in the reality of the tragedy which is actually being staged in the civilised world  (Which Quotes) From pacifist to terrorist, each person condemns violence - and then adds one cherished case in which it may be justified  (Which Quotes) I once fell in love with a man only because we both belonged to that large and secret club of children who had crazy mothers. We traded stories of the shameless houses to which we could never invite our friends  (Which Quotes) It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed  (Which Quotes)
