• Los grandes objetivos que se presentaron [a la Convención Constitucional]... constituyeron una tarea más difícil de lo que pueden concebir quienes no estuvieron involucrados en su ejecución. Añadiendo a estas consideraciones la diversidad natural de las opiniones humanas sobre todos los temas nuevos y complicados, es imposible considerar el grado de concordia que finalmente prevaleció como algo menos que un milagro.

  James Madison

• The real wonder is that so many difficulties should have been surmounted [in the federal convention], and surmounted with a unanimity almost as unprecedented as it must have been unexpected. It is impossible for any man of candor to reflect on this circumstance without partaking of the astonishment. It is impossible for the man of pious reflection not to perceive in it a finger of that Almighty hand which has been so frequently and signally extended to our relief in the critical stages of the revolution.

• Call upon me in the Day of Trouble, and I will deliver, and thou shalt glorify me...Wait on the Lord, and be of good Cheer, and he shall strengthen thy Heart; wait, I say, on the Lord:' It is impossible to express the Comfort this gave me.

• The trace I leave to me means at once my death, to come or already come, and the hope that it will survive me. It is not an ambition of immortality; it is fundamental. I leave here a bit of paper, I leave, I die; it is impossible to exit this structure; it is the unchanging form of my life. Every time I let something go, I live my death in writing.

  Jacques Derrida

• Proponed a un inglés cualquier principio o cualquier instrumento, por admirable que sea, y observaréis que todo el esfuerzo de la mente inglesa se dirige a encontrarle una dificultad, un defecto o una imposibilidad. Si le hablas de una máquina para pelar una patata, la declarará imposible: si pelas una patata con ella ante sus ojos, la declarará inútil, porque no cortará una piña.

• You may ask what kind of a republic I dream of. Let me reply: I dream of a republic independent, free, and democratic, of a republic economically prosperous and yet socially just; in short, of a humane republic which serves the individual and which therefore holds the hope that the individual will serve it in turn. Of a republic of well-rounded people, because without such it is impossible to solve any of our problems, human, economic, ecological, social, or political.

• The philosophy of praxis does not aim at the peaceful resolution of existing contradictions in history and society, but is the very theory of these contradictions. It is not the instrument of government of the dominant groups in order to gain the consent and exercise hegemony over the subaltern classes. It is the expression of subaltern classes who want to educate themselves in the art of government and who have an interest in knowing all truths, even the unpleasant ones, and in avoiding the impossible deceptions of the upper class, and even more their own.

• Art is not ideology. It is completely impossible to explain art on the basis of the homological relation that it is supposed to maintain with the real of history. The aesthetic process decentres the specular relation with which ideology perpetuates its closed infinity. The aesthetic effect is certainly imaginary; but this imaginary is not the reflection of the real, since it is the real of this reflection.

  Alain Badiou
