The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses.

I want to know all God's thoughts.

Don't dream of being a good person, be a human being is valuable and gives value to life.

Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!

Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you.

In talking about human rights today, we are referring primarily to the following demands: protection of the individual against arbitrary infringement by other individuals or by the government; the right to work and to adequate earnings from work; freedom of discussion and teaching; adequate participation of the individual in the formation of his government. These human rights are nowadays recognised theoretically, although, by abundant use of formalistic, legal manoeuvres, they are being violated to a much greater extent than even a generation ago.

Opinions about obviousness are to a certain extent a function of time.
