NATIONAL PRESS RELEASE



Baltasar Gracian (Julia Kristeva):
The political morality of the Hexagon wallow how long already? in the minor genres: vaudeville manipulated manipulators, fable of the impotence of the will to power. Tricks and blunders. Crows, mussels and calves. Ministers secretive, stunned journalists, mass suicide. Industrialist on, a general-trapped trapping, a judge abusing-abused and a castle ghost. "When you do not feel strong enough to endure, it must be removed inside of himself, yet he must bear": these words of the Jesuit Baltasar Gracian (1601-1658), Gongora Machiavellian, admired by Mrs. de Sable, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Jankélévitch, touch me on edge. "The whole mood is tumor. There are people who turn while guerrillas. They are dangerous, leaders or ministers, they are a faction of the government. They have distorted the meaning and heart spoiled. The only way to win with them is to flee to the antipodes. " Station that wants to moralize. The explosion of nothingness is unchecked, whatever the declinists. These interference call daily concentration incisor. Baltasar, again: "To the Reader: I want you unique! "Between two words, one must choose the lesser, and the words and sounds, they are short, are a lesser evil. "Well, then again becomes favorable for writing tight, watchful. " ( Julia Kristeva , Liberation May 20, 2005)
