“Reason does not scream. Reason convinces.”

“If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.”

“Give people a convincing reason and they will lay down their very lives.”

“Reason does not reason. It goes straight to the fact or the consequence.”

“It is easy to forget that the beginning is not the word, but the scream. Faced with the mutilation of human lives by capitalism, a scream of sadness, a scream of horror, a scream of anger, a scream of refusal: NO. The starting point of theoretical reflection is opposition, negativity, struggle. It is from rage that thought is born, not from the pose of reason.”

“The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know.”

“Reason does not exist for the sake of life, but life for the sake of reason. An existence which does not of itself satisfy reason and solve all her doubts, cannot be the true one.”

“Intuition does not denote something contrary to reason, but something outside of the province of reason.”

“Reason alone does not suffice.”

“Jealousy does not wait for reasons.”
