Joseph de Maistre Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Der Mensch ist unersättlich für die Macht; er ist in seinen Wünschen infantil und liebt immer, was er nicht hat, nur das, was er nicht hat. Die Leute beklagen sich über den Despotismus der Fürsten; Sie sollten sich über den Despotismus des Menschen beklagen.
