Everything that I have written is closely related to something that I have lived through.

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

Look into any man's heart you please, and you will always find, in every one, at least one black spot which he has to keep concealed.

The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent ones or the fools?

But a scientific man must live in a little bit of style.

It is not by spectacular achievements that man can be transformed, but by will.

...I'm no longer prepared to accept what people say and what's written in books. I must think things out for myself, and try to find my own answer.
