Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!

Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations. Tyranny is a habit, it has its own organic life, it develops finally into a disease. The habit can kill and coarsen the very best man or woman to the level of a beast. Blood and power intoxicate ... the return of the human dignity, repentance and regeneration becomes almost impossible.

If one wanted to crush and destroy a man entirely, to mete out to him the most terrible punishment, all one would have to do would be to make him do work that was completely and utterly devoid of usefulness and meaning.

I believe there is no one deeper, lovelier, more sympathetic and more perfect than Jesus.

Suffering is part and parcel of extensive intelligence and a feeling heart.

Of course I shall go astray often...for who does not make mistakes? But I cannot go far wrong for I have seen the truth.

Life [had] replaced logic.
