To arrive at a contradiction is to confess an error in one's thinking; to maintain a contradiction is to abdicate one's mind and to evict oneself from the realm of reality.

Anyone who fights for the future, lives in it today.

Whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man's nature and of life's potential.

I like to receive money for my work. But I can pass that up this time. I like to have people know my work is done by me. But I can pass that up. I like to have tenants made happy by my work. But that doesn't matter too much. The only thing that matters, my goal, my reward, my beginning, my end is the work itself. My work done my way. Peter, there's nothing in the world that you can offer me, except this. Offer me this and you can have anything I've got to give. My work done my way. A private, personal, selfish, egotistical motivation. That's the only way I function. That's all I am.

To fear to face an issue is to believe that the worst is true.

Faith is the wors curse of mankind, as the exact antithesis and enemy of thought.

Emotions are not tools of cognition. They tell you nothing about the nature of reality.
