As we acquire knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more mysterious.
Albert SchweitzerThe only way out of today's misery is for people to become worthy of each other's trust.
Albert SchweitzerI have given up the ambition to be a great scholar. I want to be more- simply a human. . . . We are not true humans, but beings who live by a civilization inherited from the past, that keeps us hostage, that confines us. No freedom of movement. Nothing. Everything in us is killed by our calculations for our future, by our social position and cast. You see, I am not happy-yet I am happy. I suffer, but that is part of life. I live, I don't care about my existence, and that is the beginning of wisdom.
Albert SchweitzerWe all owe to others much of the gentleness and wisdom that we have made our own; and we may well ask ourselves what will others owe to us
