Alain Badiou Quotes

We could say that love is a tenacious adventure. The adventurous side is necessary, but equally so is the need for tenacity.

Alain Badiou

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.
