Tzvetan Todorov: Frases em inglês

“Democracy brought to others through the barrel of a gun is not democracy.”

Hope and Memory: Reflections on the Twentieth Century (2003)

“People who believe themselves to be the incarnation of good have a distorted view of the world.”

Hope and Memory: Reflections on the Twentieth Century (2003)

“A maxim for the twenty-first century might well be to start not by fighting evil in the name of good, but by attacking the certainties of people who claim always to know where good and evil are to be found. We should struggle not against the devil himself but what allows the devil to live — Manichaean thinking itself.”

paraphrased variant:
We should not be simply fighting evil in the name of good, but struggling against the certainties of people who claim always to know where good and evil are to be found.
