Inner freedom is an infrequent gift of nature and a worthy object for the individual.

I have never belonged wholeheartedly to a country, a state, nor to a circle of friends, nor even to my own family. When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives. Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.

In the shadow of the atomic bomb it has become even more apparent that all men are, indeed, brothers.

Out of complexity, find simplicity!

For me a simple message, to think and act with courage, independence and imagination.

Only strong characters can resist the temptation of superficial analysis.

The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.
