Der Mensch in der Revolte

“un homme qui dit non. Mais s’il refuse, il ne renonce pas: c’est aussi un homme qui dit oui, dès son premier mouvement”

“En face d'une future réalisation de I'idée, la vie humaine peut être tout ou rien. Plus est grand le foi que le calculateur met dans cette réalisation, moins vaut la vie humaine."

"The ancients, even though they believed in destiny, believed primarily in nature, in which they participated wholeheartedly. To rebel against nature amounted to rebeling against oneself."

Philosophy, even servile philosophy, has its Waterloos.

True realism means looking at human being standing right in front of you and respecting their life but sacrificing them for a theoretical future is unbridled fantasy.

Political realism, on this level, is nothing but unbridled romanticism, a romanticism of expendiency.

To love is, in a certain way, to kill the perfect man who is going to be born of the revolution.

..., everyone tries to make his life a work of art. We want love to last and we know that it does not last; even if, by some miracle, it were to last a whole lifetime, it would still be incomplete.

But what are we escaping from by means of a novel? From a reality we consider too overwhelming?
