The practice of violence, lik...

The practice of violence, like all action, changes the world, but the most probable change is a more violent world.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Evil thrives on apathy and ca...

Evil thrives on apathy and cannot exist without it.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Power corresponds to the huma...

Power corresponds to the human ability not just to act but to act in concert. Power is never the property of an individual; it belongs to a group and remains in existence only so long as the group keeps together. When we say of somebody that he is 'in power' we actually refer to his being empowered by a certain number of people to act in their name. The moment the group, from which the power originated to begin with ... disappears, 'his power' also vanishes.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Only crime and the criminal, ...

Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Violence can always destroy p...

Violence can always destroy power; out of the barrel of a gun grows the most effective command, resulting in the most instant and perfect obedience. What never can grow out of it is power.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst; expect the best; and take what comes.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Economic growth may one day t...

Economic growth may one day turn out to be a curse rather than a good, and under no conditions can it either lead into freedom or constitute a proof for its existence.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Our tradition of political th...

Our tradition of political thought had its definite beginning in the teachings of Plato and Aristotle. I believe it came to a no less definite end in the theories of Karl Marx.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

The more dubious and uncertai...

The more dubious and uncertain an instrument violence has become in international relations, the more it has gained in reputation and appeal in domestic affairs, specifically in the matter of revolution.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Power and violence are opposi...

Power and violence are opposites; where the one rules absolutely, the other is absent. Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course it ends in power's disappearance.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

War has become a luxury that ...

War has become a luxury that only small nations can afford.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

No cause is left but the most...

No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

No punishment has ever posses...

No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence to prevent the commission of crimes. On the contrary, whatever the punishment, once a specific crime has appeared for the first time, its reappearance is more likely than its initial emergence could ever have been.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Wherever the relevance of spe...

Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

In order to go on living one ...

In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Where all are guilty, no one ...

Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

Promises are the uniquely hum...

Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

It is my contention that civi...

It is my contention that civil disobediences are nothing but the latest form of voluntary association, and that they are thus quite in tune with the oldest traditions of the country.

Hannah Arendt 313 quotes

The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.
