"stalinism"タグの名言

A faith is not acquired by reasoning. One does not fall in love with a woman, or enter the womb of a church, as a result of logical persuasion. Reason may defend an act of faith-but only after the act has been committed, and the man com­mitted to the act.

কেবল বাচ্চাদের বই পড়তে হবে। কেবল বাচ্চাদের বই পড়তে হবে, কেবল শিশুদের জিনিস ভালোবাসতে হবে, বড়োদের সবকিছু ছুঁড়ে ফেলে দিতে হবে দুঃখি চেহারা নিয়ে উঠে দাঁড়াবার পর । জীবন নিয়ে আমি অবসাদে মরে যাচ্ছি এতে এমন কিছু নেই যা আমি চাই, আর কোনো সুললিত জগত নেই । কাঠের এক মামুলি দোলনা ; অন্ধকার, উঁচু দেবদারু গাছের, অনেক দূরের বাগানে, দুলছে ; যা মনে রেখেছে জ্বরে আক্রান্ত রক্ত ।

It can certainly be misleading to take the attributes of a movement, or the anxieties and contradictions of a moment, and to personalize or 'objectify' them in the figure of one individual. Yet ordinary discourse would be unfeasible without the use of portmanteau terms—like 'Stalinism,' say—just as the most scrupulous insistence on historical forces will often have to concede to the sheer personality of a Napoleon or a Hitler. I thought then, and I think now, that Osama bin Laden was a near-flawless personification of the mentality of a real force: the force of Islamic jihad. And I also thought, and think now, that this force absolutely deserves to be called evil, and that the recent decapitation of its most notorious demagogue and organizer is to be welcomed without reserve. Osama bin Laden's writings and actions constitute a direct negation of human liberty, and vent an undisguised hatred and contempt for life itself.
