If he has a conscience he will suffer for his mistake. That will be his punishment-as well as the prison.

It is man's unique privilege, among all other organisms. By pursuing falsehood you will arrive at the truth!

Every man looks out for himself, and he has the happiest life who manages to hoodwink himself best of all.

I want to suffer so that I may love.

I must have justice, or I will destroy myself. And not justice in some remote and infinite time and space, but here on Earth...I want to see with my own eyes the lamb lie down with the lion and the victim rise up and embrace his murderer. I want to be there when everyone suddenly understands what it has all been about. All the religions of the world are built on this longing, and I am a believer.

Realists do not fear the results of their study.

I must add... my gratitude to you for the attention with which you have listened to me, for, from my numerous observations, our Liberals are never capable of letting anyone else have a conviction of his own without at once meeting their opponent with abuse or even something worse.
