The history of man is a graveyard of great cultures that came to catastrophic ends because of their incapacity for planned, rational, voluntary reaction to challenge.

What most people in our culture mean by being lovable is essentially a mixture between being popular and having sex appeal.

Modern man lives under the illusion that he knows what he wants, while he actually wants what he is supposed to want.

Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve.

It is a tragedy that most of us die before we have begun to live.

Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

I only wish to be the fountain of love from which you drink, every drop promising eternal passion.
