Prayer is not a discourse. It is a form of life, the life with God. That is why it is not confined to the moment of verbal statement.

In sum, thought and reflection have been rendered thoroughly pointless by the circumstances in which modern men and women live and act.

No technique is possible when men are free. Technique requires predictability and, no less, exactness of prediction. It is necessary, then, that technique prevail over the human being.

If I rule out violent anarchism, there remains pacifist, anti-nationalist, anti-capitalist, moral, and anti-democratic anarchism (i.e., that which is hostile to the falsified democracy of bourgeois states). There remains the anarchism which acts by means of persuasion, by the creation of small groups and networks, denouncing falsehood and oppression, aiming at a true overturning of authorities of all kinds as people at the bottom speak and organize themselves.

Everyone has been taught that technique is an application of science.... This traditional view is radically false. It takes into account only a single category of science and only a short period of time

Philosophy which asserts that human experience repeats itself is ineffectual.

Education no longer has a humanist end or any value in itself; it has only one goal, to create technicians.
