“Les enfants qui veulent apprendre à marcher tout seuls, il faut leur donner la main.”

“Je sais que tu es ici pour me tuer. Tire, lâche, tu vas seulement tuer un homme.”

Charité, Psychologie



I think if there is a God, I don’t know if it’s the one in the Bible, ’cause that’s a weird story, is He’s our father and we’re His children. That’s it. “Our father, who art in Heaven.” Where’s our mother? What happened to our mom? What did He do to our mom? Something happened. Somewhere in Heaven, there’s a porch with a dead lady under it, and I want the story. Somebody’s gotta check the trunk of God’s car for bleach and rope and fibers.
Well, how can we not have a mother?! At least, maybe, God’s divorced. Maybe he has an ex-wife. God’s a single dad and He’s raising us alone and we’re praying… and He’s like, “I’m trying! It’s just me up here!” Maybe that’s what’s going on. Maybe your life is your time… this is our weekend with Dad, that’s what life is… and then when you die, you go to mom’s house…

“Sentir sa responsabilité, c'est sagesse. Penser qu'on peut l'assumer seul n'est que déraison.”
Citations de ses romans, Un cantique pour Leibowitz (A Canticle for Leibowitz), 1960

We can forgive a man for making a usuful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is to admire it intensely.

Le Portrait de Dorian Gray ('), 1890
Variante: Nous pouvons pardonner à un homme d’avoir fait une chose utile aussi longtemps qu’il ne l’admire pas.
Un samouraï d'Occident : Le Bréviaire des insoumis, 2013

L’amour des faibles entre eux ne peut avoir d’autre expression que les chatouillements de la volupté ; l’amour du faible pour le fort est de l’humilité et de la crainte ; l’amour du fort pour le faible est de la pitié et de l’indulgence : seul l’amour du fort pour le fort est de l’amour, car il est le libre don de nous-même à celui qui ne peut nous contraindre. Sous toutes les zones, dans toutes les races, les hommes pourront parvenir par la liberté réelle à une égale force, par la force au véritable amour, par le véritable amour à la Beauté : mais la Beauté en action c’est l’Art.

Citations de l'auteur, La Solidarité chez les plantes, les animaux, les humains
Les Hauteurs béantes, 1977

We can destroy animals more easily than they can destroy us; that is the only solid basis of our claim to superiority. We value art and science and literature, because these are things in which we excel. But whales might value spouting, and donkey might maintain that a good bray is more exquisite than the music of Bach. We cannot prove them wrong except by the exercise of arbitrary power. All ethical systems, in the last analysis, depend upon weapons of war.

Sur Maximilien de Robespierre
Variante: Je confesse aujourd'hui de bonne foi que je m'en veux d'avoir autrefois vu en noir, et le gouvernement révolutionnaire et Robespierre et Saint-Just. Je crois que ces hommes valaient mieux à eux seuls que tous les révolutionnaires ensemble.

“Les seules certitudes sont la mort, les impôts et le rhume des foins au mois d'août.”
Des voix dans les ténèbres, 1994

“Car la [raison] principale sur laquelle on s'appuie pour démontrer que le monde est fini, est le mouvement? Et n'admettrions-nous pas que la réalité de cette révolution quotidienne appartient à la terre, et son apparence seulement au ciel!”
Nam potissimum, quo astruere nituntur mundum esse finitum, est motus. Sive igitur finitus sit mundus, sive infinitus, disputationi physiologorum dimittamus, hoc certum habentes, quod terra verticibus conclusa superficie globosa terminatur. Cur ergo haesitamus adhuc, mobilitatem illi formae suae a natura congruentem concedere, magis quam quod totus labatur mundus, cuius finis ignoratur scirique nequit; neque fateamur ipsius quotidianae revolutionis in caelo apparentiam esse, et in terra veritatem?
De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (1543)

“On admettra enfin que le soleil lui-même occupe le centre du monde. Toutes ces choses, c'est la loi de l'ordre dans lequel elles se suivent les unes les autres, ainsi que l'harmonie du monde, qui nous les enseigne, pourvu seulement que nous regardions les choses elles-mêmes pour ainsi dire des deux yeux.”
Ipse denique sol medium mundi putabitur possidere, quae omnia ratio ordinis, quo illa sibi invicem succedunt, et mundi totius harmonia nos docet, si modo rem ipsam ambobus (ut aiunt) oculis inspiciamus

Source: Le soleil n'occupe pas le centre des mouvements planétaires (pas même le centre des mouvements de la terre) mais le centre de l'Univers, c'est-à-dire, le centre de la sphère des fixes. Le rôle du soleil, dans le système de Copernic est uniquement optique. Il éclaire le monde. Il ne fait pas mouvoir les planètes.

To take an example, therefore, from a very trifling manufacture; but one in which the division of labour has been very often taken notice of, the trade of the pin-maker; a workman not educated to this business (which the division of labour has rendered a distinct trade), nor acquainted with the use of the machinery employed in it (to the invention of which the same division of labour has probably given occasion), could scarce, perhaps, with his utmost industry, make one pin in a day, and certainly could not make twenty. But in the way in which this business is now carried on, not only the whole work is a peculiar trade, but it is divided into a number of branches, of which the greater part are likewise peculiar trades. One man draws out the wire, another straights it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top for receiving, the head; to make the head requires two or three distinct operations; to put it on is a peculiar business, to whiten the pins is another; it is even a trade by itself to put them into the paper; and the important business of making a pin is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which, in some manufactories, are all performed by distinct hands, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. I have seen a small manufactory of this kind where ten men only were employed, and where some of them consequently performed two or three distinct operations. But though they were very poor, and therefore but indifferently accommodated with the necessary machinery, they could, when they exerted themselves, make among them about twelve pounds of pins in a day. There are in a pound upwards of four thousand pins of a middling size. Those ten persons, therefore, could make among them upwards of forty-eight thousand pins in a day. Each person, therefore, making a tenth part of forty-eight thousand pins, might be considered as making four thousand eight hundred pins in a day. But if they had all wrought separately and independently, and without any of them having been educated to this peculiar business, they certainly could not each of them have made twenty, perhaps not one pin in a day; that is, certainly, not the two hundred and fortieth, perhaps not the four thousand eight hundredth part of what they are at present capable of performing, in consequence of a proper division and combination of their different operations.

If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or the atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atoms little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.

To be integrated in one another, each person should annul himself before the others. This is done by each seeing the friends' merits and not their faults. But one who thinks that he is a little higher than the friends can no longer unite with them.
