" "The experience of death is going to get more and more painful, contrary to what many people believe. The forthcoming euthanasia will make it more rather than less painful because it will put the emphasis on personal decision in a way which was blissfully alien to the whole problem of dying in former times. It will make death even more subjectively intolerable, for people will feel responsible for their own deaths and morally obligated to rid their relatives of their unwanted presence. Euthanasia will further intensify all the problems its advocates think it will solve.

Additional quotes by René Girard
It is a mistake to suppose that he rejected poetry for aesthetic reasons. What is overlooked in all of this is that Plato came between an older tradition of philosophy and Christianity. He saw the danger of violence much more clearly because of his proximity to the pre-Socratics. The understanding of the danger is essential, vital in Plato.

Każde indywiduum przejawia tendencję do czucia się „bardziej innym” od wszystkich bliźnich i równocześnie każda kultura przejawia tendencję do myślenia o sobie nie tylko jak o różnej od innych, lecz ponadto jak o maksymalnie różnej od innych, bowiem każda kultura podtrzymuje owo uczucie „inności” wśród pozostających w jej kręgu jednostek.
