  • We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives, that it is inside ourselves.

  • Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future- and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.

  • Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.

  • In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.

  • One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.

  • As usual I finish the day before the sea, sumptuous this evening beneath the moon, which writes Arab symbols with phosphorescent streaks on the slow swells. There is no end to the sky and the waters. How well they accompany sadness!
