Known as the Steel Magnolia, a nickname she liked, Mrs. Carter sparked controversy when she sat in (silently) on cabinet meetings. In 1980, Mrs. Carter thought her husband was “seemingly pompous” in explaining why he wouldn’t make politically expedient decisions. When Mr. Carter rejected that idea out of hand, she helped him reinvent the post-presidency by establishing the Carter Center. When I was at work on my biography, Mrs. Carter shared with me her husband’s letters from sea. Rosalynn Carter kept those letters in a drawer close by until the day she died.

A înțeles rolul mitului în lumea noastră secularizată, ne-a avertizat însă împotriva ispitei de a construi noi religii politice. Atunci când nu puțini au renunțat să mai vorbească despre totalitarism—conceptul a fost „denunțat” drept înfeudat logicii Războiului Rece—, a scris texte excepționale pe acest subiect. Kołakowski a înțeles că minciuna totalitară este diferită de ceea ce el numea minciună convențională. Marxismul a eșuat la nivelul propriilor sale ambiții: s-a dorit filosofia eliberării universale și a creat o sclavie fără precedent. Kołakowski a practicat mai întâi o critică de la stânga a marxismului osificat al aparatelor ideologice oficiale.
