The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling.

I have made no secret, either privately or publicly, of any sense of outrage over officially enforced military and war service. I regard it as a duty of conscience to fight against such barbarous enslavement of the individual with every means available.

I consider it important, indeed urgently necessary, for intellectual workers to get together, both to protect their own economic status and, also, generally speaking, to secure their influence in the political field.

People are like bicycles. They can keep their balance only as long as they keep moving.

Those who believe that politics and religion do not mix, understand neither.

If you have never failed, you have never tried anything new.

I have tried 99 times and have failed, but on the 100th time came success.
