The Intellectual Is Not Defined By Professional Group And Type Of Occupation. Nor Are Good Upbringing And A Good Family Enough In Themselves To Produce An Intellectual. An Intellectual Is A Person Whose Interest In And Preoccupation With The Spiritual Side Of Life Are Insistent And Constant And Not Forced By External Circumstances, Even Flying In The Face Of Them. An Intellectual Is A Person Whose Thought Is Nonimitative.

An Intellectual Is A Person Whose Interest In And Preoccupation With The Spiritual Side Of Life Are Insistent And Constant And Not Forced By External Circumstances, Even Flying In The Face Of Them. An Intellectual Is A Person Whose Thought Is Nonimitative.

Let Us Not Forget That Violence Does Not Live Alone And Is Not Capable Of Living Alone: It Is Necessarily Interwoven With Falsehood. Between Them Lies The Most Intimate, The Deepest Of Natural Bonds. Violence Finds Its Only Refuge In Falsehood, Falsehood Its Only Support In Violence. Any Man Who Has Once Acclaimed Violence As His Method Must Inexorably Choose Falsehood As His Principle.
