“No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.”
- Hannah Arendt (1906 – 1975), German-born American political philosopher: introduction to “On Revolution”, 1963.
“It is quite gratifying to feel guilty if you haven’t done anything wrong: how noble! Whereas it is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent.”
- Ibid: “Eichmann in Jerusalem”, 1963.
“The suspicious mind believes more than it doubts. It believes in a formidable and ineradicable evil lurking in every person.”
- Eric Hoffer (1902 – 1983), American philosopher: “The Passionate State of Mind”, 1955.
