« (...) For Arendt, it was always the world itself that provided the matter of thought. And if she turned to the authors and texts of the past to think those matters through — to literally permeate them with thought — it was not from a need for authority, or out of longing for a dead past, but because she believed, I suspect, what George Seferis expressed poetically: As pines keep the shape of the wind when the wind has fled and is no longer there so words guard the shape of man even when man has fled and is no longer there .» Thinking without a ground; Hannah Arendt and the contemporary g of understanding (último parágrafo), de Stan Spyros Draenos.
