Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience - by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence.

The farther a society progresses, the more clearly the individual becomes the antithesis of the group.

The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organic being not merely analogous to an organic being, but actually a living structure with appetites and digestions, instincts and passions, intelligence and reason.

It is already clear, after twenty years of socialism in Russia, that if you do not provide your society with a new religion, it will gradually revert to the old one.

Creeds and castes, and all forms of intellectual and emotional grouping, belong to the past.

We may be sure that out of the ruins of our capitalist civilization a new religion will emerge, just as Christianity emerged from the ruins of the Roman civilization.

I have not the slightest doubt that this form of individuation represents a higher stage in the evolution of mankind.
