FORGET the utopian notion that a brave new world without power politics will follow the unconditional surrender of wicked nations.
FORGET the crusading notion that any nation, however virtuous and powerful, can have the mission to make the world over in its own image.

In "In Defense of the National Interest: A Critical Examination of American Foreign Policy", Hans J. Morgenthau, 1951.

In "JACQUES LE FATALISTE" Denis Diderot, 1781.

To find the truth. I've even lied.
But all I know is down inside I'm
All: Bleeding...
Janet: And super heroes come to the feast
To taste the flesh not yet deceased.
And all I know is still the beast is
All: Feeding...
Ahh, ahh...
Narrator: And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects, called the human race...
Lost in time, and lost in space,
And meaning.
All: Meaning.

Assieds-toi,
Cesse tes allées et venues.
Ton ombre qui s'agite
sur l'eau
Trouble la sérénité
des poissons.

Ses camarades l'avaient laissé seul, car ils n'ignoraient pas
qu'il ne fallait point troubler la Ficelle quand il faisait
de la morue à l'espagnole.

L'histoire comme fiction semble être une lutte pour inventer
