Nothing happens until something moves.

I believe in standardizing automobiles, not human beings.

To get to know a country, you must have direct contact with the earth. It's futile to gaze at the world through a car window.

I cannot accept any concept of God based on the fear of life or the fear of death, or blind faith. I cannot prove to you that there is no personal God, but if I were to speak of him I would be a liar.

I cannot write in English, because of the treacherous spelling. When I am reading, I only hear it and am unable to remember what the written word looks like.

I believe that whoever tries to think things through honestly will soon recognize how unworthy and even fatal is the traditional bias against Negroes. What can the man of good will do to combat this deeply rooted prejudice? He must have the courage to set an example by words and deed, and must watch lest his children become influenced by racial bias.

I have always disliked the fierce competitive spirit embodied in that highly intellectual game.
