America is a large country and its people have so far not shown much interest in great international problems, among which the problem of disarmament occupies first place today. This must be changed, if only in America's own interest. The last war has shown that there are no longer any barriers between the continents and that the destinies of all countries are closely interwoven. The people of this country must realize that they have a great responsibility in the sphere of international politics. The part of passive spectator is unworthy of this country and is bound in the end to lead to disaster all round.

Mere praise of peace is easy and ineffective. What is needed is acitve participation in the fight against war and everything which leads to it.

If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

Common sense consists of those layers of prejudice laid down before the age of 18.

All that's different about me is that I still ask the questions most people stopped asking at age five.

In living through this great epoch, it is difficult to reconcile oneself to the fact that one belongs to that mad, degenerate species that boasts of its free will. How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will. In such a place even I should be an ardent patriot!

I believe in intuition and inspiration...at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.
