More From Alija Izetbegovic

In short, my vision of a responsible free society is one in which we discourage evil, but do not prohibit it. we make our children and students aware of the consequences of drug abuse and other forms of irresponsible behavior. but after all our persuading, if they still want to use harmful drugs, that is their privilege. in a free society, individuals must have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don't threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others. they must also suffer the consequences of their actions, as it is from consequences that they learn to choose properly

When you go into a fast food restaurant, you may just think about how good your meal tastes while you're eating it. but you're not thinking about all the consequences that come from that one purchase - the consequences for your body, the consequences for supporting this company and how it's treating it workers, all the way back to the farm where the potatoes were grown, or the ranch where the cattle were raised.

We know only a single science, the science of history. history can be contemplated from two sides, it can be divided into the history of nature and the history of mankind. however, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.

The void is not being, but not being cannot be, ergo the void cannot be. the reasoning was sound, because it denied the void while granting that it could be conceived. in fact, we can quite easily conceive things that do not exist. can a chimera, buzzing in the void, devour second intentions? no, because chimeras do not exist, in the void no buzzing can be heard, and intentions are mental things - an intended pear does not nourish us. and yet i can think of a chimera even if it is chimerical, namely, if it is not. and the same with the void.

The second rule is that the greatest harm can result from the best intentions. it sounds a paradox, but kindness and good intentions can be an insidious path to destruction. sometimes doing what seems right is wrong, and can cause harm. the only counter to it is knowledge, wisdom, forethought, and understanding the first rule. even then, that is not always enough.

History is a living horse laughing at a wooden horse. history is a wind blowing where it listeth. history is no sure thing to bet on. history is a box of tricks with a lost key. history is a labyrinth of doors with sliding panels, a book of ciphers with the code in a cave of the saragossa sea. history says, if it pleases, excuse me, i beg your pardon, it will never happen again if i can help it.
