Mary McCarthy: Citations en anglais

“Life for the European is a career; for the American, it is a hazard.”

Mary McCarthy

"America the Beautiful: The Humanist in the Bathtub", p. 17
On the Contrary: Articles of Belief 1946–1961 (1961)

“We are a nation of twenty million bathrooms, with a humanist in every tub.”

Mary McCarthy

"America the Beautiful: The Humanist in the Bathtub", p. 13
On the Contrary: Articles of Belief 1946–1961 (1961)

“If only one could … But it required strength. The romantic life had been too hard for her. In morals as in politics anarchy is not for the weak. The small state, racked by internal dissension, invites the foreign conqueror. Proscription, martial law, the billeting of the rude troops, the tax collector, the unjust judge, anything, anything at all, is sweeter than responsibility.”

Mary McCarthy

The dictator is also the scapegoat; in assuming absolute authority, he assumes absolute guilt; and the oppressed masses, groaning under the yoke, know themselves to be innocent as lambs, while they pray hypocritically for deliverance.
First published in Harper's Bazaar (April 1942)
