If we don't end war, war will end us.

Perhaps I am a man of exceptional moods. I do not know how far my experience is common. At times I suffer from the strangest sense of detachment from myself and the world about me; I seem to watch it all from the outside, from somewhere inconceivably remote, out of time, out of space, out of the stress and tragedy of it all. This feeling was very strong upon me that night. Here was another side to my dream.

Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.

Lies are the mortar that binds the savage individual man into the social masonry.

We must end war before war ends us.

The teacher, whether mother, priest, or schoolmaster, is the real maker of history.

Nothing remains interesting where anything may happen.
