The attitude of the West and of Russia towards a crisis like Ukraine is diametrically different. The West is trying to establish the legality of any established border. For Russia, Ukraine is part of the Russian patrimony.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

We are moving towards a world...

We are moving towards a world that is reordering itself and that may appear more ordered at some periods of time, but I see no sign that we are moving towards a world order in my definition of it - namely, a system which is accepted, which is internalized by the majority of the key participants.

To be absolutely certain about something, one must know everything or nothing about it.

It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

My view of my role is that together with like-minded men and women, I could help contribute to a bipartisan view of American engagement in the world for another period; I could do my part to overcome this really, in a way, awful period in which we are turning history into personal recriminations, depriving our political system of a serious debate.

There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

A leader who confines his role to his people's experience dooms himself to stagnation; a leader who outstrips his people's experience runs the risk of not being understood.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

It's never happened in history that every region in the world could affect every other region simultaneously. The Roman empire and the Chinese empire didn't know much about each other and had no means of interacting. Now we have every continent able to reach every other.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

I think when the president of the United States calls for military action, he should do it for a united people, especially when the methods have been so cruel, so explicitly directed at Americans.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

I don't ascribe to myself any special competence in economic insight. I translate what I hear from highly intelligent people into political and philosophical propositions.

People are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any forum that would require me to stop talking for three hours.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

The longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself.

A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

I have been a professor, and I have been a policymaker, and as a professor, you think in terms of truth or absolutes.
