“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
У тебя есть враги? Хорошо. Это означает, что однажды вы вступились за что-то в своей жизни.
Often attributed to Churchill, this thought was originally expressed by the French author Victor Hugo in Villemain (1845), as follows: You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do not bother yourself about it; disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
Villemain is a brief segment taken from Hugo’s Choses Vues (Things Seen), a running journal Hugo kept of events he witnessed. The original French versions of these journals were published after Hugo's death.

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.”

Psychology and Alchemy (1952)
Контексте: People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.

Thus the soul has gradually been turned into a Nazareth from which nothing good can come.

“In peace, prepare for war. In war, prepare for peace.”
