This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst expect the best and take what comes. – Hannah Arendt
By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else. From beauty no road leads to reality. – Hannah Arendt
Revolutionaries do not make revolutions. The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and then they can pick it up. – Hannah Arendt
The human condition is such that pain and effort are not just symptoms which can be removed without changing life itself; they are the modes in which life itself, together with the necessity to which it is bound, makes itself felt. For mortals, the easy life of the gods would be a lifeless life. – Hannah Arendt
Since my education, Ive done quite untraditional things. There are very few Etonians who went to Rada. And far fewer Etonians – certainly when I was there – went to Cambridge. I dont know whether its the same now. Most people I knew went to Oxford, because it seemed more of an easy bridge. – Tom Hiddleston
