We are born into this world unarmed - our mind is our only weapon.

That time and those people are upon you!

Ideas are the greatest and most crucially practical power on earth.

I understood that centuries of chains and lashes will not kill the spirit of man nor the sense of truth within him.

It's true that there's no such thing as free will. We can't help what we are or what we do. It's not our fault. Nobody's to blame for anything. It's all in your background ... and your glands. If you're good, that's no achievement of yours - you were lucky in your glands. If you're rotten, nobody should punish you - you were unlucky, that's all.

The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach.
