By simple common sense I don't believe in God, in none.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

So when I cease to be I want to go back...to the sea! Oh for the life of a sardine! That is the life for me!

There are more valid facts and details in works of art than there are in history books.

The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

Hair is vitally personal to children. They weep vigorously when it is cut for the first time; no matter how it grows, bushy, straight or curly, they feel they are being shorn of a part of their personality.

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
