The Solemn Pledge To Abstain From Telling

Today When We Say The West We Are Already Referring To The West And To Russia. We Could Use The Word 'modernity' If We Exclude Africa, And The Islamic World, And Partially China.

You Can Resolve To Live Your Life With Integrity. Let Your Credo Be This: Let The Lie Come Into The World, Let It Even Triumph. But Not Through Me.

There Is No Point Asserting And Reasserting What The Heart Cannot Believe.

You Get No Thanks From Your Belly-it Always Forgets What You've Just Done For It And Comes Begging Again The Next Day.

The Line Separating Good And Evil Passes Not Through States, Nor Between Classes, Nor Between Political Parties Either - But Right Through Every Human Heart - And Through All Human Hearts. This Line Shifts. Inside Us, It Oscillates With The Years. And Even Within Hearts Overwhelmed By Evil, One Small Bridgehead Of Good Is Retained.
