Quotes by Bernard-Henri Lévy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There is a gentleness, a lightness, an element of freedom and, in a word, of civilization, that makes this country one of the few countries in the world where, despite everything, you can still breathe freely.”
Bernard-Henri Levy

“De literatuur of het leven? Het leven want de literatuur; het leven leeft voor mij pas echt, het is pas echt diepgaand en lijfelijk het leven, wanneer ik weet dat ik er woorden aan zal kunnen ontrukken.”
Bernard-Henry Lévy

“il y a toute cette autre pensée de la guerre, non pas virile, exaltante, source de grandeur ou d'accomplissement de soi, mais tout simplement nécessaire car l'alternative à cette guerre ce ne serait pas la paix mais l'enfer...(ch. 5
La nostalgie de la guerre)”
Bernard-Henri Lévy, War, Evil, and the End of History
