I came here to say that I do not recognize anyone's right to one minute of my life.

I don't like people who speak or think in terms of gaining anybody's confidence. If one's actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others, only their rational perception. The person who craves a moral blank check of that kind, has dishonest intentions, whether he admits it to himself or not.

Believing in fate produces fate. Believing in freedom will create infinite possibilities.

The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

The great creators-the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors-stood alone against the men of their time.

If you write a whole line of zeroes, it's still — nothing.

A man doesn't borrow pieces of his body. A building doesn't borrow hunks of its soul. Its maker gives it the soul and every wall, window and stairway to express it.
