Nothing is harder than to accept oneself.

There are all sorts of ways of murdering a person or at least his soul, and that's something no police in the world can spot.

The dignity of man is in free choice.

Either marriage is a destiny, I believe, or there is no sense in it at all, it's a piece of humbug.

I don't believe in providence and fate, as a technologist I am used to reckoning with the formulae of probability.

We live technologically, with man as the master of nature, man as the engineer, and let anyone who raises his voice against it stop using bridges not built by nature.... No electric light bulbs, no engines, no atomic energy, no calculating machines, no anaesthetics-back to the jungle.

I feel fairly certain that my hatred harms me more than the people whom I hate.
