We have to condemn the very idea that some people have the right to repress others.

It's quite enough to show a well-beaten dog the whip.

Art thaws even the frozen, darkened soul, opening it to lofty spiritual experience.

I am a convinced and consistent critic of party-parliamentarism. I am for non-partisan elections of true people's representatives who are accountable to their regions and districts; and who in case of unsatisfactory work can be recalled. I do understand and respect the formation of groups on economical, cooperative, territorial, educational, professional and industrial principles, but I see nothing organic in political parties. Politically motivated ties can be unstable and quite often they have selfish ulterior motives.
