Isaiah Berlin


“Freedom for the wolves has often meant death to the sheep.”
Isaiah Berlin

“We are doomed to choose and every choice may entail irreparable loss.”
Isaiah Berlin

“Both liberty and equality are among the primary goals pursued by human beings throughout many centuries; but total liberty for wolves is death to the lambs, total liberty of the powerful, the gifted, is not compatible with the rights to a decent existence of the weak and the less gifted.”
Isaiah Berlin, The Crooked Timber of Humanity: Chapters in the History of Ideas

“To understand is to perceive patterns.”
Isaiah Berlin

“The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.”
Isaiah Berlin
