“When liberty is mentioned, we must always be careful to observe whether it is not really the assertion of private interests which is thereby designated.”

“Too fair to worship, too divine to love.”

“We must have a new mythology, but it must place itself at the service of ideas, it must become a mythology of reason. Mythology must become philosophical, so that the people may become rational, and philosophy must become mythological, so that philosophers may become sensible.

“Truth in philosophy means that concept and external reality correspond.”

“I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation.”

“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”

“I was being foolish. An atheist can't stand behind their assertion that God doesn't exist. The stupidest thing I ever could have done was to reject His Truth.”

“Blackface remains exoticist and offensive as a practice, not just because of its long tradition of being used to mock black selfhood, sexuality, and speech but because of its assertion that black people are merely white people sullied by dark skin.”

“Foreign policy is effectively the assertion of many individual countries intersecting on the global marketplace. And you have to figure out how to get your interest served in a way that meets the interests and needs of these other folks.”
