The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone.

Man is a being with free will; therefore, each man is potentially good or evil, and it's up to him and only him (through his reasoning mind) to decide which he wants to be.

Professional intellectuals are the voice of a culture and are, therefore, its leaders, its integrators and its bodyguards.

Don't think. Believe. Trust your heart, not your brain. Don't think. Feel. Believe.

Every aspect of Western culture needs a new code of ethics - a rational ethics - as a precondition of rebirth.

Now take a human body. Why wouldn't you like to see a human body with a curling tail with a crest of ostrich feathers at the end? And with ears shaped like acanthus leaves? It would be ornamental, you know, instead of the stark, bare ugliness we have now. Well, why don't you like the idea? Because it would be useless and pointless. Because the beauty of the human body is that is hasn't a single muscle which doesn't serve its purpose; that there's not a line wasted; that every detail of it fits one idea, the idea of a man and the life of a man.

If one's actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others.
