The average American has separated his private life from his existence as a member of his society, and leaves that to the specialists in the government to take care of.

Man always dies before he is fully born.

Man does not only sell commodities, he sells himself and feels himself to be a commodity.

Our vitality, and the vitality of each nation, rests on the sincerity and depth of the faith in the ideas which it announces, or pronounces.

It is true that one has to think first and then to act - but it's also true that if one has no possibility of acting, one's thinking kind of becomes empty and stupid.

I think American man unconsciously hates his work very often, because he feels trapped by it... imprisoned by it... because he feels that he is spending most of his energy for something which has no meaning in itself.

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.
