More From Jean-Luc Godard

"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."

Lf the attribute of popular government in peace is virtue, the attribute of popular government in revolution is at one and the same time virtue and terror, virtue without which terror is fatal, terror without which virtue is impotent. the terror is nothing but justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue.

It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

Pictures are the idea in visual or pictorial form; and the idea has to be legible, both in the individual picture and in the collective context - which presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. however, none of this means that pictures function as illustrations of an idea: ultimately, they are the idea. nor is the verbal formulation of the idea a translation of the visual: it simply bears a certain resemblance to the meaning of the idea. it is an interpretation, literally a reflection.

There is a war on terror that must be fought. nobody's immune... and so rather than finding fault with what spain has done by being aggressive in the war on terror, this should redouble everyone's efforts to go after terrorist organizations of any kind... terror has to be brought to an end.

It is important for america that the moral truths which make freedom possible should be passed on to each new generation. every generation of americans needs to know that freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought. ... christ asks us to guard the truth because, as he promised us: "you will know the truth and the truth will make you free." depositum custodi! we must guard the truth that is the condition of authentic freedom, the truth that allows freedoms to be fulfilled in goodness. we must guard the deposit of divine truth handed down to us.
