Education can give you a skill, but a liberal education can give you dignity.

The educator must above all understand how to wait; to reckon all effects in the light of the future, not of the present.

The very forces that liberty has set free work against the dangerous consequences of liberty.

Everything, everything in war is barbaric... But the worst barbarity of war is that it forces men collectively to commit acts against which individually they would revolt with their whole being.

The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.

The belief that we some day shall be able to prevent war is to me one with the belief in the possibility of making humanity really human.

When one paints an ideal, one does not need to limit one's imagination.
