A Law Which Excludes All Dialectic And

Where There Is Power, There Is Resistance.

There Are Moments In Life Where The Question Of Knowing Whether One Might Think Otherwise Than One Thinks And Perceive Otherwise Than One Sees Is Indispensable If One Is To Continue To Observe Or Reflect... What Is Philosophy Today... If It Does Not Consist In, Instead Of Legitimizing What We Already Know, Undertaking To Know How And How Far It Might Be Possible To Think Otherwise?

There Are More Ideas On Earth Than Intellectuals Imagine. And These Ideas Are More Active, Stronger, More Resistant, More Passionate Than "politicians" Think. We Have To Be There At The Birth Of Ideas, The Bursting Outward Of Their Force: Not In Books Expressing Them, But In Events Manifesting This Force, In Struggles Carried On Around Ideas, For Or Against Them. Ideas Do Not Rule The World. But It Is Because The World Has Ideas (and Because It Constantly Produces Them) That It Is Not Passively Ruled By Those Who Are Its Leaders Or Those Who Would Like To Teach It, Once And For All, What It Must Think.

Freedom Of Conscience Entails More Dangers Than Authority And Despotism.

Man Is A Thinking Being. The Way He Thinks Is Related To Society, Politics, Economics, And History And Is Also Related To Very General And Universal Categories And Formal Structures. But Thought Is Something Other Than Societal Relations.
