You’re an Isaiah Berlin fan? I’m reading his book right now (a collection of his various essays) — just got finished with his essay on Machiavelli.

My favorite quote is in my profile:

“When man deploys the arbitrary nature of his madness, he confronts the dark necessity of the world; the animal that haunts his nightmares and his nights of privation is his own nature, which will lay bare hell’s pitiless truth.”
