Quote #2 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Individual and Revolution

“Who of us has not muddled his private life? Perhaps it is impossible to serve two gods. If one gives oneself to an ideal to the uttermost one hardly ever also succeeds in one's private affairs. This is true not only of those obsessed by a social ideal. It is true of every ideal, art, letters, science.... You will find that your failure is the failure of us all who are dedicated to one purpose in life.”
