Quotes by Vladimir Jankélévitch (?)

“Do Not Listen to What They Say, Look at What They Do”
― Vladimir Jankélévitch

“L’ironie, détruisant l’enveloppe extérieure des institutions, nous exerce à ne respecter que l’essentiel ; elle simplifie, dénude, et distille ; épreuve purifiante en vue d’un absolu jamais atteint, l’ironie fait semblant afin de ruiner les faux-semblants ; elle est une force exigeante et qui nous oblige à expérimenter tour à tour toutes les formes de l’irrespect, à proférer toutes les insolences, à parcourir le circuit complet des blasphèmes, à concentrer toujours d’avantage l’essentialité de l’essence et la spiritualité de l’esprit.L’ironie, en somme, sauve ce qui peut être sauvé.”

“Neputând gândi moartea, nu ne raman, dupa cum s-ar parea, decat doua solutii: sau sa gandim asupra mortii, in jurul mortii, cu privire la moarte, sau sa ne gandim la altceva decat la moarte, de exemplu la viata. Prima solutie ineaca problema in oceanul generalitatilor inofensive. Dupa cum vom vedea, eufemia si perifraza sunt, fata de indicibil, ceea ce aceasta filosofie marginala e fata de incomprehensibil: o artă de a trăncăni pe lângă subiect.”
― Vladimir Jankélévitch, Pensar la muerte
