examined-life:

Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human.  It is always the same words telling the same lies.  And the fact that men accept this, that the people’s anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble—yes, gamble—with a whole part of their life and their so-called ‘vital interests.’

Albert Camus

examined-life:

It is an unvirtuous world that needs virtue.  Look at the world.  Do you see suffering?  Then you will not wish to add to it.  In this sense, lucidity is a condition of morality.

Leon Wieseltier, Kaddish

If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.
