Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.

Critical and radical thought will only bear fruit when it is blended with the most precious quality man is endowed with - the love of life

There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which fails so regularly, as love.

People think that to love is simple, but that to find the right object to love - or to be loved by - is difficult.

Productive work, love and thought are possible only if a person can be, when necessary, quiet and alone. To be able to listen to oneself is the necessary condition for relating oneself to others.

Modern man is alienated from himself, from his fellow men, and from nature. He has been transformed into a commodity, experiences his life forces as an investment which must bring him the maximum profit obtainable under existing market conditions.

While we teach knowledge, we are losing that teaching which is the most important one for human development: the teaching which can only be given by the simple presence of a mature, loving person.
