I would say democracy once meant an organizational society and a state, in which the individual citizen is - feels - responsible, and acts responsibly, and participates in decision-making.

The revolutionary and critical thinker is in a certain way always outside of his society while of course he is at the same time also in it.

Love is an act of faith.

Happiness should be something which results from the creative, genuine, intense relatedness - awareness, responsiveness, to everything in life - to man, to nature.

There is only one reality: the act of feeling ourselves in the process of making choices.

We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them.

We've wanted to produce more in the 19th century and the 20th century in order to give man the possibility for more dignified human life; but actually what has happened is that production and consumption have become means - have ceased to be means and have become ends, and we are production crazy and consumption crazy.
