“Though anger seems a pessimistic response to a situation, it is at root a symptom of hope: the hope that the world can be better than it is. The man who shouts every time he loses his house keys is betraying a beautiful but rash faith in a universe in which keys never go astray. The woman who grows furious every time a politician breaks an election promise reveals a precariously utopian belief that elections do not involve deceit.
The news shouldn’t eliminate angry responses; but it should help us to be angry for the right reasons, to the right degree, for the right length of time – and as part of a constructive project.
And whenever this isn’t possible, then the news should help us with mourning the twisted nature of man and reconciling us to the difficulty of being able to imagine perfection while still not managing to secure it – for a range of stupid but nevertheless unbudgeable reasons.”

“الفلسفة بأسرها أشبه بشجرة جذورها الميتافيزيقا، وجذعها الفيزيقا، والفروع التي تخرج من هذا الجذع هي كل العلوم الأخرى التي تنتهي إلى ثلاثة علوم رئيسية، هي الطب والميكانيكا والأخلاق، وأعني الأخلاق الأرفع والأكمل التي لما كانت تفترض معرفة تامة بالعلوم الأخرى، فقد بلغت المرتبة الأخيرة من مراتب الحكمة. ومن حيث إن المرء لا يجني الثمرات من جذور الأشجار ولا من جذوعها، بل من أطراف فروعها، فكذلك أكبر منفعة للفلسفة، تعتمد على أجزائها التي لا يُستطاع تعلمها إلا في آخر الأمر.”
