—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Writing is the continuation of politics by other means.”
—Philippe Sollers (b. 1936)
“The newspaper reader says: this party is destroying itself through such mistakes. My higher politics says: a party that makes such mistakes is finished—it has lost its instinctive sureness.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
