"Machiavelli is the complete contrary of a machiavellian,……" — Maurice Merleau-Ponty
"Machiavelli is the complete contrary of a machiavellian, since he describes the tricks of power and gives the whole show away. The seducer and the politician, who live in the dialectic and have a feeling and instinct for it, try their best to keep it hidden."
