« Whether the 'Sapiens sapiens' is from the West or the East, silicon or bronze, if there is anything in it indomitable, it is his inability to be content not with what he has, but with what he is (which seems less understandable and probably hopeless). »

« Hatred serves as an antidote to fear, which renders powerless. It restores courage, invents the impossible, digs tunnels under barbed wire. If the weak did not hate, the force would remain forever to the strength. And empires would be eternal. »

« Marx, this giant of thought, did not understand (he probably could not, for lack of convincing experience) that between communism and materialism one had to choose. He thought he was a scientist, and being too much has gone astray. His fellow volunteers, whom he stigmatized as utopians, seem closer to the pot of roses when they said, like Cabet, the cooper of Dijon: "The communists of today are the disciples and continuations of Christ." »
