"The plague had killed in all of us the faculty not of love only but even of friendship. Naturally enough, since love asks something of the future, and nothing was left us but a series of present moments." — Oct 01, 2017 10:49PM

"The proponents and believers of "war of all against all" are reminded that mutual struggle is not 'the' law of the nature. Mutual aid and cooperation are as much the law as struggle has been." — Feb 14, 2019 05:10PM

intimate revelations of young men or at least the terms in which they express them are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.

“Those who genuinely want to help the movement should study the rich and powerful, not the poor and powerless...The poor and powerless already know what is wrong with their lives and those who want to help them should analyse the forces that keep them where they are. Better a sociology of the Pentagon or the Houston country club than of single mothers or inner-city gangs.”

“By nature, parties must also have a position on just about everything, while movements need not because they have no pretensions to governing.”

“I'm afraid we're stuck with Kant and his"crooked timber of humanity, from which no straight thing was ever made." If we're going to build another world, it will be from this crooked timber and no other, so we'd better start learning the necessary carpentry.”

“निंदा का उद्गम ही हीनता और कमजोरी से होता है. मनुष्य अपनी हीनता से दबता है. वह दूसरों की निंदा करके ऐसा अनुभव करता है कि वे सब निकृष्ट हैं और वह उनसे अच्छा है. उसके अहम् की इससे तुष्टि होती है. बड़ी लकीर को कुछ मिटाकर छोटी लकीर बड़ी बनती है. ज्यों-ज्यों कर्म क्षीण होता जाता है, त्यों-त्यों निंदा की प्रवृत्ति बढ़ती जाती है. कठिन कर्म ही ईर्ष्या-द्वेष और इनसे उत्पन्न निंदा को मारता है. इंद्र बड़ा ईर्ष्यालु माना जाता है क्योंकि वह निठल्ला है. स्वर्ग में देवताओं को बिना उगाया अन्न, बे बनाया महल और बिन-बोये फल मिलते हैं. अकर्मण्यता में उन्हें अप्रतिष्ठित होने का भय रहता है, इसलिए कर्मी मनुष्यों से उन्हें ईर्ष्या होती है.”
