A forest bird never wants a cage.

To die in agony upon a cross Does not create a martyr; he must first Will his own execution.

I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.

Bigger things than the State will fall, all religion will fall.

Was the majority right when they stood by while Jesus was crucified? Was the majority right when they refused to believe that the earth moved around the sun and let Galileo be driven to his knees like a dog? It takes fifty years for the majority to be right. The majority is never right until it does right.

I don't imagine you will dispute the fact that at present the stupid people are in an absolutely overwhelming majority all the world over.

I believe that before anything else I'm a human being -- just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one. I know quite well that most people would agree with you, Torvald, and that you have warrant for it in books; but I can't be satisfied any longer with what most people say, and with what's in books. I must think things out for myself and try to understand them.
