I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.

Common sense is that layer of prejudices which we acquire before we are sixteen.

I have always loved solitude, a trait which tends to increase with age.

In the past it never occurred to me that every casual remark of mine would be snatched up and recorded. Otherwise I would have crept further into my shell.

Nationalism, on my opinion, is nothing more than an idealistic rationalization for militarism and aggression.

It's very depressing to live in a time where it's easier to break an atom than a prejudice.
