All Human Suffering Concerns Each Human Being.

Hope Is Definitely Not The Same Thing As Optimism. It Is Not The Conviction That Something Will Turn Out Well, But The Certainty That Something Makes Sense, Regardless Of How It Turns Out.

I Believe That During The Intervention Of Nato In Kosovo There Is An Element Nobody Can Question: The Air Attacks, The Bombs, Are Not Caused By A Material Interest. Their Character Is Exclusively Humanitarian: What Is At Stake Here Are The Principles, Human Rights Which Have Priority Above State Sovereignty. This Makes It Legitimate To Attack The Yugoslav Federation, Although Without The United Nations Mandate.

Human Beings Are Compelled To Live Within A Lie, But They Can Be Compelled To Do So Only Because They Are In Fact Capable Of Living In This Way. Therefore Not Only Does The System Alienate Humanity, But At The Same Time Alienated Humanity Supports This System As Its Own Involuntary Master Plan, As A Degenerate Image Of Its Own Degeneration, As A Record Of People's Own Failure As Individuals.

Man Is In Fact Nailed Down - Like Christ On The Cross - To A Grid Of Paradoxes. He Balances Between The Torment Of Not Knowing His Mission And The Joy Of Carrying It Out, Between Nothingness And Meaningfulness. And Like Christ, He Is In Fact Victorious By Virtue Of His Defeats.

The Salvation Of The World Lies In The Human Heart.
