Quotes

Show us not the aim without the way. For ends and means on earth are so entangled. That changing one, you change the other too; Each different path brings other ends in view Arthur Koestler
that man is a reality, mankind an abstraction; that men cannot be treated as units in operations of political arithmetic because they behave like the symbols for zero and the infinite, which dislocate all mathematical operations; that the end justifies the means only within very narrow limits; that ethics is not a function of social utility, and charity not a petty bourgeois sentiment but the gravitational force which keeps civilization in its orbit. Arthur Koestler
Politics can be relatively fair in the breathing spaces of history; at its critical turning points there is no other rule possible than the old one, that the end justifies the means. Arthur Koestler
Arthur Koestler quote: "True creativity often starts where language ends."
True creativity often starts where language ends. Arthur Koestler
