(R. Niebuhr, The Irony of American History, Charles Scribner's Sons, New York 1952, trad. it. L'ironia della storia americana, Bompiani, Milano 2012, p. 261)
Despair is the fate of the realists who know something about sin, but nothing about redemption.Self-righteousness and irresponsibility is the fate of the idealists who know something about the good possibilities of life, but know nothing of our sinful corruption of it(Reinhold Niebuhr)
