“Tutti credono di sapere la differenza tra reale e ideale. E soprattutto adesso che sono in tanti a ripetere che bisogna lasciar perdere i sentimentalismi e pensare soltanto all’interesse, tanto individuale, quanto collettivo, tanto di un solo uomo, quanto di un popolo o di una nazione.

Adesso la maggior parte dei popoli europei è in balia di sanguinose contese, e c’è ancora chi si ostina a credere che a muoverli sia stata la coscienza del loro interesse. Ma io dico invece che essi non sanno qual è il loro interesse, mentre conoscono benissimo le loro passioni. E mentre credono di obbedire all’interesse, non fanno altro che obbedire alle passioni…”

― Aida Mandic, The Dark Cloud
