Heart Noble Malice

More From Jean Racine

The pettiness of a mind can be measured by the pettiness of its adoration or its blasphemy.
Mind Adoration Blasphemy
Occasionally i was so much better that i could go out; but the streets used to put me in such a rage that i would lock myself up for days rather than go out, even if i were well enough to do so! i could not bear to see all those preoccupied, anxious-looking creatures continuously surging along the streets past me! why are they always anxious? what is the meaning of their eternal care and worry? it is their wickedness, their perpetual detestable malice-that's what it is-they are all full of malice, malice!
Past Worry Wickedness
I think i was a little disappointed in her. i expected then people to be more of a piece than i do now, and i was distressed to find so much vindictiveness in so charming a creature. i did not realize how motley are the qualities that go to make up a human being. now i am well aware that pettiness and grandeur, malice and charity, hatred and love, can find place side by side in the same human heart.

Never sound pompous. you always sound noble, noble. absolute character of music is nobility. even popular music can be noble, you see. if it's not noble, then it's not very good... music is an art of emotion, of nobility, of dignity, of greatness, of love, of tenderness. all that must be brought out in music but never a show of pompousness.
Art Character Greatness
A doctrine insulates the devout not only against the realities around them but also against their own selves. the fanatical believer is not conscious of his envy, malice, pettiness and dishonesty. there is a wall of words between his consciousness and his real self.
Wall Real Self
We are all the judges and the judged, victims of the casual malice and fantasy of others, and ready sources of fantasy and malice in our turn. and if we are sometimes accused of sins of which we are innocent, are there not also other sins of which we are guilty and of which the world knows nothing?

A religion is a source of happiness and i would not deprive anyone of happiness. but it is a comfort appropriate for the weak, not for the strong--and you are strong. the great trouble with religion--any religion--is that the religionist, having accepted certain propositions by faith, cannot thereafter judge these propositions by evidence. one may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak uncertainty of reason--but one cannot have both.
Strong Fire Judging
Historically, terrorism falls in a category different from crimes that concern a criminal court judge.
Fall Court Judges Judging
The number of those who undergo the fatigue of judging for themselves is very small indeed.
Clever Numbers Judging
I believe that the constitution is not hostile to the idea that national problems can be solved at the national level through the cooperative efforts of the three coequal branches of government, the congress, the executive and courts. but not every president, not every legislator and not every judge agrees that the federal government has the power to address and to try to remedy the twin national problems of poverty and access to equal opportunity.
