A Truth is the subjective development of that which is at once both new and universal. New: that which is unforeseen by the order of creation. Universal: that which can interest, rightly, every human individual, according to his pure humanity.
Alain Badiou Quotes
Evil is the moment when I lack the strength to be true to the Good that compels me.
