Michael Novak Quotes About Reality

• Persuadir a las personas pensantes de Europa del Este de que los marxistas centroamericanos -los sandinistas, los guerrilleros de El Salvador- están en un absurdo y trágico error no es difícil. A los polacos, checos y húngaros les cuesta creer, después de lo que vivieron bajo el socialismo, que otros seres humanos caigan en el mismo fardo de mentiras, medias verdades y distorsiones. Lamentablemente, sin embargo, la ilusión es a menudo más dulce para el gusto humano que la realidad. La última marxista del mundo será probablemente una monja estadounidense.

• There is a certain point of unity within the self, and between the self and its world, certain complicity and magnetic mating, a certain harmony, that conscious mind and will cannot direct. Perhaps analysis and the separate mastery of each element are required before the instincts are ready to assume command, but only at first. Command by instinct is swifter, subtler, deeper, more accurate, more in touch with reality than command by conscious mind. The discovery takes one's breath away.
