I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed.

In vain do science and philosophy pose as the arbiters of the human mind, of which they are in fact only the servants. Religion has provided a conception of life, and science travels in the beaten path. Religion reveals the meaning of life, and science only applies this meaning to the course of circumstances.

Before we can study the central issues of life today, we must destroy the prejudices and fallacies born of previous centuries.

Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings, and also experience them.

Not all of life's roads are set fast, for a man may do this or a man may do that and not even the gods know the mind of a man.

My piece of bread only belongs to me when I know that everyone else has a share, and that no one starves while I eat.

One must put oneself in every one's position. To understand everything is to forgive everything.
