He is a free and secure citizen of the world because he is on a chain that is long enough to allow him access to all parts of the earth, and yet not so long that he could be swept over the edge of it.

My guiding principle is this: Guilt is never to be doubted.

Please — consider me a dream.

The relationship to one's fellow man is the relationship of prayer, the relationship to oneself is the relationship of striving; it is from prayer that one draws the strength for one's striving.

I am on the hunt for constructions. I come into a room and find them whitely merging in a corner.

Marrying, founding a family, accepting all the children that come, supporting them in this insecure world, and perhaps even guiding them a little, is, I am convinced, the utmost a human being can succeed in doing at all.

In me, by myself, without human relationship, there are no visible lies. The limited circle is pure.
