Joseph Brodsky Quotes

The Fact That The World Today Is What It Is Suggests, To Say The Least, That This Concept Is Far From Being Cherished Universally. The Reasons For Its Unpopularity Are Twofold. First, What Is Required For This Concept To Be Put Into Effect Is A Margin Of Democracy. This Is Precisely What 86 Percent Of The Globe Lacks. Second, The Common Sense That Tells A Victim That His Only Gain In Turning The Other Cheek And Not Responding In Kind Yields, At Best, A Moral Victory, I.e., Quite Immaterial. The Natural Reluctance To Expose Yet Another Part Of Your Body To A Blow Is Justified By A Suspicion That This Sort Of Conduct Only Agitates And Enhances Evil; That Moral Victory Can Be Mistaken By The Adversary For His Impunity.
