Quotes

• “It requires strength of character to act upon one's ideas; it requires no less strength of character to resist being seduced by them.”
• “Nostalgia is one of the legitimate and certainly one of the most enduring of human emotions; but the politics of nostalgia is at best distracting, at worst pernicious.”
• “An intellectual may be defined as a man who speaks with general authority about a subject on which he has no particular competence.”
• “Power breeds responsibilities, in international affairs as in domestic -- or even private. To dodge or disclaim these responsibilities is one form of the abuse of power.”
• “After all, if you believe that no one was ever corrupted by a book, you also have to believe that no one was ever improved by a book (or a play or a movie). You have to believe, in other words, that all art is morally trivial and that, consequently, all education is morally irrelevant. No one, not even a university professor, really believes that.”
• “If you care for the quality of life in our American democracy, then you have to be for censorship.”
