The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.

Time is relative; its only worth depends upon what we do as it is passing.

One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.

Is there not a certain satisfaction in the fact that natural limits are set to the life of the individual, so that at the conclusion it may appear as a work of art?

With all my heart I believe that the world's present system of sovereign nations can only lead to barbarism, war and inhumanity, and that only world law can assure progress towards a civilized peaceful community.

I thought of that while riding my bicycle.

I am convinced that some political and social activities and practices of the Catholic organizations are detrimental and even dangerous for the community as a whole, here and everywhere. I mention here only the fight against birth control at a time when overpopulation in various countries has become a serious threat to the health of people and a grave obstacle to any attempt to organize peace on this planet.
