Famous quotes containing the word arendt:

    The chief reason warfare is still with us is neither a secret death-wish of the human species, nor an irrepressible instinct of aggression, nor, finally and more plausibly, the serious economic and social dangers inherent in disarmament, but the simple fact that no substitute for this final arbiter in international affairs has yet appeared on the political scene.
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    The Third World is not a reality but an ideology.
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    It is quite gratifying to feel guilty if you haven’t done anything wrong: how noble! Whereas it is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent.
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–75)
