I do not much believe in education. Each person ought to be his or her own model, however frightful that may be.

The world is not threatened by evil people, but by those who allow evil to take place.

I know that it is a hopeless undertaking to debate about fundamental value judgements. For instance, if someone approves, as a goal, the extirpation of the human race from the earth, one cannot refute such a viewpoint on rational grounds. But if there is agreement on certain goals and values, one can argue rationally about the means by which these objectives may be obtained.
