An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.

Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.

You cannot solve current problems with current thinking. Current problems are the result of current thinking.

The fact that man produces a concept "I" besides the totality of his mental and emotional experiences or perceptions does not prove that there must be any specific existence behind such a concept. We are succumbing to illusions produced by our self-created language, without reaching a better understanding of anything. Most of so-called philosophy is due to this kind of fallacy.

My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
