Madame de Staël
“Who understands much, forgives much.”
Madame De Stael

Cesare Pavese
“You will be loved the day when you will be able to show your weakness without the other person using it to assert his strength.”
Cesare Pavese, Il mestiere di vivere: Diario 1935-1950

Adam Gopnik
“Where pre-Enlightenment Europe was sporadically cruel, post-Enlightenment Europe was systematically inhumane; where the pre-Enlightenment was haphazardly prejudiced, the Enlightenment was systematically racist, creating a "scientific" hierarchy of humanity that justified imperialism. "Reason" became another name for bourgeois oppression, the triumph of science merely an excuse for more orderly forms of social subjugation.”
Adam Gopnik

Denis Diderot
“Those people who are buried next to each other are perhaps not as crazy as one might think. Their ashes might press and mix together, and unite. What do I know? Maybe they haven't lost all feeling or all the memories of their first state. Perhaps there is a flicker of heat that they both enjoy in their own way at the bottom of the cold urn that holds them. Oh, my Sophie, I could touch you, feel you, love you, look for you, unite myself with you, and combine myself with you when we are no longer here.. Allow me this fantasy.”
Denis Diderot

Harry Truman
“When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all Americans are in peril.”
Harry Truman
