Greg Grandin Zitate

Most students of Kissinger find it hard to say anything about Kissinger that isn't about the man himself. He is such an outsize figure that he eclipses his own context, leading his many biographers, critics, and admirers to focus nearly exclusively on the quirks of his personality or his moral failings.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die meisten Kissinger-Schüler finden es schwer, etwas über Kissinger zu sagen, das nicht von dem Mann selbst abhängt. Er ist so eine übergroße Figur, dass er seinen eigenen Kontext in den Schatten stellt und seine vielen Biographen, Kritiker und Bewunderer dazu bringt, sich fast ausschließlich auf die Eigenheiten seiner Persönlichkeit oder sein moralisches Versagen zu konzentrieren.

Kissinger's unusually high body count and singular moral imperiousness has the effect, among his critics, of obscuring his didactic utility. An outsized personality who has committed outsized mayhem, Kissinger eclipses his own context. Yet, as animals were to the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss, Kissinger is good to think with.

Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.

Never let a man imagine that he can pursue a good end by evil means, without sinning against his own soul. The evil effect on himself is certain.

Above all, we must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand, to create a legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage, in reality, does not help these people.

Well I don't know that I'm okay any more than anyone else is okay, I lead a happy life and a very full one - I have a happy marriage and my kids are all cheerful, and no one is finding fault with me, personally.
