For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions.

As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance and equality of all citizens before the law prevail.

One cannot learn so well as by experiencing it oneself.

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

One ought to be ashamed to make use of the wonders of science embodied in a radio set, the while appreciating them as little as a cow appreciates the botanic marvels in the plants she munches.

On the other hand, although I have a regular work schedule, I take time to go for long walks on the beach so that I can listen to what is going on inside my head. If my work isn't going well, I lie down in the middle of a workday and gaze at the ceiling while I listen and visualize what goes on in my imagination.

I am also convinced that one gains the purest joy from spirited things only when they are not tied in with earning one's livelihood.
