Sur les Idées
La même citation, provenant de la traduction d'Yves Lévy donne à peu près : « Mais il y a si loin de la manière dont on vit de la manière dont on devrait vivre, que celui qui laisse ce qui se fait pour ce qui devrait se faire, apprend plutôt à se détruire qu'à se préserver. Et par conséquent, il faut qu'un homme qui veut faire profession d'homme bon, au milieu de gens qui ne le sont pas, doive apprendre à pouvoir être mauvais, et à user ou non du caractère mauvais selon la nécessité. »
Le Prince, 1532

Ouvrages, L'Ordinatrice ? (1968)
You try to keep your kids safe and if you aren't doing it perfectly then why are you doing it at all? It's like this thing that starts to dawn on you. Like if my kids get in the car with me they have to buckle up. I'm not even starting this car until you buckle your seatbelts. And if we get in a taxi, it's fine. It's okay. Taxis are magic. Nobody dies. Just get in. Just go. I'm not diggin' in the seat for a belt. There's no way I'm blindly diggin' in to the Egyptian hepatitis and severed toes so you can put on your seatbelt. You gotta put on your own mask before helping the others. I'm not going through that. So, my kids get in a cab and they just hurdle through space at a speed determined by a profit motive of an exhausted man from another country where life is s**t cheap, where kids die all day and it's boring.

Sine prius etiam peccatum definiamus, quod sine voluntate esse non posse omnis mens apud se divinitus conscriptum legit. Ergo peccatum est voluntas retinendi vel consequendi quod justitia vetat, et unde liberum est abstinere. Quanquam si liberum non sit, non est voluntas. Sed malui grossius quam scrupulosius definire. Etiamne hi libri obscuri mihi scrutandi erant, unde discerem neminem vituperatione suppliciove dignum, qui aut id velit quod justitia velle non prohibet, aut id non faciat quod facere non potest ? Nonne ista cantant et in montibus pastores, et in theatris pœtæ, et indocti in circulis, et docti in bibliothecis, et magistri in scholis, et antistites in sacratis locis, et in orbe terrarum genus humanum? Quod si nemo vituperatione vel damnatione dignus est, aut non contra vetitum justitiæ faciens, aut quod non potest non faciens, omne autem peccatum vel vituperandum est, vel damnandum; quis dubitet tunc esse peccatum, cum et velle injustum est, et liberum nolle; et ideo definitionem illam et veram et ad intellegendum esse facillimam, et non modo nunc, sed tunc quoque a me potuisse dici: Peccatum est voluntas retinendi vel consequendi quod iustitia vetat, et unde liberum est abstinere ?

Gaston Defferre dans Paris-Presse, le 22 juillet 1962
I started to shed the monstrous aesthetic affectation of my youth so as to make room for the monstrous philistine postures of middle age, but it was some years before I was bold enough to decline an invitation to "Hamlet" on the grounds that I knew who won.

For people like us it is necessary to be a bit stronger, more self-critical, more observant than the usual run. Whether we happen to come already enhanced with these qualities, as some have claimed, or whether our situation invests them in us, we have traditionally - and we do have a long and proud tradition - been a little finer, a little firmer, more sensitive and flexible than others […] The easiest armor to put on is always cruelty. That armor will, indeed, see you through everything. Vicious condescension toward those without your strength can make you feel momentarily superior. But that easy armor must be forgone. […] Never, Ralph, never for an instant permit yourself to feel anything other than pity and deepest sympathy for unfortunate comrades who have, after all, fallen in the same battle.

Untold Decades: Seven Comedies of Gay Romance (1988)
Do not accustom yourself to view debt only as an inconvenience; you will find it a calamity. Poverty takes away so many means of doing good, and produces so much inability to resist evil, both natural and moral, that it is by all virtuous means to be avoided.

I once read a book about a reporter written by a reporter who described the life as always running in front of a thresher. I thought it was the most accurate description I'd read. Sometimes people got tired of running in front of the machine, sometimes they got pulled in and were left shredded. Sometimes they managed to get out from in front of it. They used their expertise in the business to seek the steadiness of a job as a person who handled the media rather than was part of it.

You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace. But you cannot have peace and a division of our country. If the United States submits to a division now, it will not stop, but will go on until we reap the fate of Mexico, which is eternal war.[...] I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect and early success. But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for anything. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter.
