No original: "Moral seriousness in public life is like pornography: hard to define but you know it when you see it. It describes a coherence of intention and action, an ethic of political responsibility. All politics is the art of the possible. But art too has its ethic."

Tony Judt Frases famosas
No original: "The good society, like goodness itself, cannot be reduced to a single source; ethical pluralism is the necessary precondition for an open democracy."

No original: "If there is no single good, then there is likely no single form of analysis that captures all the various forms of the good, and no single political logic that can master all of ethics."

No original: "When we spoke of the Marxists we could begin with concepts. The fascists don’t really have concepts. They have attitudes. They have distinctive responses to war, depression and backwardness. But they don’t start out with a set of ideas that they then apply to the world."

No original: "I was not, am not, and do not come across as anti-Israeli. I understand just how much there is amiss in the Arab world and don’t feel in the least inhibited in talking about it. I have Israeli friends and Arab friends. I am a Jew who is not at all reluctant to discuss the troubling consequences of our contemporary obsession with Holocaust commemoration"

No original: " It is one thing to say that I am willing to suffer now for an unknowable but possibly better future. It is quite another to authorize the suffering of others in the name of that same unverifiable hypothesis. This, in my view, is the intellectual sin of the century: passing judgment on the fate of others in the name of their future as you see it, a future in which you may have no investment, but concerning which you claim exclusive and perfect information."

Tony Judt frases e citações
No original: "That Marxism is a secular religion seems self-evident. But just which religion is it tracking? That is not always so clear. It comprises much of traditional Christian eschatology: the fall of man, the Messiah, his suffering and humanity’s vicarious redemption, the salvation, the rise and so on. Judaism is there too, but less in substance than style. In Marx and in some of the more interesting later Marxists (Rosa Luxemburg, perhaps, or Léon Blum)—and without question in the interminable German Socialist debates conducted in the pages of Die Neue Zeit—we can readily discern a variety of pilpul, the playful dialectical self-indulgence at the heart of rabbinical judgments and traditional Jewish moralizing and storytelling"

No original: "We—the left, academics, teachers—have abandoned politics to those for whom actual power is far more interesting than its metaphorical implications. Political correctness, gender politics, and above all hypersensitivity to wounded sentiments (as though there were a right not to be offended): this will be our legacy."

No original: Europe is the smallest continent. It is not really even a continent—just a subcontinental annexe to Asia. The whole of Europe (excluding Russia and Turkey) comprises just five and a half million square kilometers: less than two thirds the area of Brazil, not much more than half the size of China or the US. But in the intensity of its internal differences and contrasts, Europe is unique.

“Inequality is corrosive. It rots societies from within.”
Ill Fares the Land (2010), Ch. 1 : The Way We Live Now
Contexto: Inequality is corrosive. It rots societies from within. The impact of material differences takes a while to show up: but in due course competition for status and goods increases; people feel a growing sense of superiority (or inferiority) based on their possessions; prejudice towards those on the lower ranks of the social ladder hardens; crime spikes and the pathologies of social disadvantage become ever more marked. The legacy of unregulated wealth creation is bitter indeed.
