 Last Words
"All the justifications of broken eggs for the sake of the ultimate omelette, all the
brutalities, sacrifices, brainwashing, all those revolutions, everything that has made
this century perhaps the most appalling of any since the days of old, at any rate in the
West - all this for nothing, for the perfect universe is not merely unattainable but
inconceivable, and everything done to bring it about is founded on an enormous
intellectual fallacy."
Isaiah Berlin, The First and the Last (London: Granta, 1999), p. 78. |
