Sözler ve Alıntılar
in the field of action, realism tends to emphasise the irresistible strength of existing forces and the inevitable character of existing tendencies, and to insist that the highest wisdom lies in accepting, and adapting oneself to, these forces and these tendencies. such an attitude, though advocated in the name of “objective” thought, may no doubt be carried to a point where it results in the sterilisation of thought and the negation of action.
but there is a stage where realism is the necessary corrective to the exuberance of utopianism, just as in other periods utopianism must be invoked to counteract the barrenness of realism. immature thought is predominantly purposive and utopian. thought which rejects purpose altogether is the thought of old age. mature thought combines purpose with observation and analysis.
utopia and reality are thus the two facets of political science. sound political thought and sound political life will be found only where both have their place.

Theories of social morality are always the product of a dominant group which identifies itself with the community as a whole, and which possesses facilities denied to subordinate groups or individuals for imposing its view of life on the community. Theories of international morality are, for the same reason and in virtue of the same process, the product of dominant nations or groups of nations.
