Selected quotes by Alain Badiou
There is a kind of serenity in love which is almost a paradise.
Love
A Truth is the subjective development of that which is at once both new and universal. New: that which is unforeseen by the order of creation. Universal: that which can interest, rightly, every human individual, according to his pure humanity.
Truth
Evil is the interruption of a truth by the pressure of particular or individual interests.
Truth

Love

Love
Evil is the moment when I lack the strength to be true to the Good that compels me.
Courage
I feel really assured by the fact that the women I have loved I have loved for always.
