Saint Paul Quotes

“Just as love is the general power of self-love turned toward everyone as the construction of living thought, similarly, hope weaves the subjectivity of salvation, of the unity of thought and power, as a universality that is present in each ordeal, each victory. Each victory won, however localized, is universal.”
― Alain Badiou, Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism

“Or let us posit that it is incumbent upon us to found a materialism of grace through the strong, simple idea that every existence can one day be seized by what happens to it and subsequently devote itself to that which is valid for all, or as Paul magnificently puts it, 'become all things to all men'.”
― Alain Badiou, Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism

“For with the vessel, and with the dissipation into smoke of the treasure it contains, it is he, the subject, the anonymous bearer, the herald, who is equally shattered.”
― Alain Badiou, Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism
