More From Niccolo Machiavelli

Compared with the person who is conscious of his despair, the despairing individual who is ignorant of his despair is simply a negativity further away from the truth and deliverance. . . . yet ignorance is so far from breaking the despair or changing despair to nondespairing that it can in fact be the most dangerous form of despair. . . . an individual is furthest from being conscious of himself as spirit when he is ignorant of being in despair. but precisely this-not to be conscious of oneself as spirit-is despair, which is spiritlessness. . . .
Ignorance Negativity Individuality
An armed republic submits less easily to the rule of one of its citizens than a republic armed by foreign forces. rome and sparta were for many centuries well armed and free. the swiss are well armed and enjoy great freedom. among other evils caused by being disarmed, it renders you contemptible. it is not reasonable to suppose that one who is armed will obey willingly one who is unarmed; or that any unarmed man will remain safe among armed servants.

An individual in despair despairs over something. . . . in despairing over something, he really despair[s] over himself, and now he wants to get rid of himself. consequently, to despair over something is still not despair proper. . . . to despair over oneself, in despair to will to be rid of oneself-this is the formula for all despair.

The main thing that i learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. the truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. the truth is that it is not the iluminati, or the jewish banking conspiracy, or the gray alien theory. the truth is far more frightening - nobody is in control. the world is rudderless.

Looking at them now, thought jim, you'd never believe they weren't in love with each other, and not with a hopeless, doomed obsession like poor isabel meredith. this was what love ought to be like: playful and passionate and teasing, and dangerous, too, with sharp intelligence in it.
