Quotes by Guglielmo Ferrero (?)

“...úgy áll ugyanis a dolog, hogy az erővel való visszaélés nemcsak a szerencsétlen áldozatot tölti el félelemmel, hanem még inkább azt is, aki a visszaélést elköveti.”
― Guglielmo Ferrero, Bonaparte en Italie

“Az egymásnak ellentmondó igazságok, melyeket a szkepticizmus szembeállít egymással, hogy ezzel azt bizonyítsa, hogy nincs igazság, valójában az egyetlen igazság darabjai; ez az igazság azonban túl összetett ahhoz, hogy az emberi értelem teljes egészében megragadja. A történelem gyengesége igazából az, hogy azok az igazságtöredékek, melyeket megérthet, rendszerint külön állnak, s érdekek, indulatok torzítják őket.”
― Guglielmo Ferrero, Bonaparte en Italie
