Quote:

The most noble, pure and true love of mankind is the love of oneself. I want to be free! I hope to be happy! I want to appreciate all the beauties of the world. But my freedom is secured only when all other people around me are free. I can only be happy when all other people around me are happy. I can only be joyful when all the peple I see and meet look at the world with joy-filled eyes. And only then can I eat my fill with pure enjoyment when I have the secure knowledge that other people, too, can eat their fill as I do. And for that reason it is a question of my own contentment, only of my own self, when I rebel against every danger which threatens my freedom and my happiness…

Le signifié de ce texte a traversé mon subconscient et m’a atteint, comme une flèche traverserait une jungle avant d’atteindre sa cible.

Ce que j’avais commencé à lire par simple curiosité suite à un article sur Slashdot est ainsi devenu ma probable lecture principale sur les quelques jours à venir, quitte à détrôner de leur fonction les 9 livres achetés aujourd’hui pour occuper les deux prochaines semaines.
