Even as rigorous a determinist as Karl Marx, who at times described the social behaviour of the bourgeoisie in terms which suggested a problem in social physics, could subject it at other times to a withering scorn which only the presupposition of moral responsibility could justify.

Our age knows nothing but reaction, and leaps from one extreme to another.

You can't say that religion or irreligion will give us a particular answer to the nuclear dilemma.

The will-to-live becomes the will-to-power.

I think I have one answer, that is partly religious and partly secular; and that is to say, we ought to at least recognize that we and the Russians are in a common predicament. That would be religious in the sense, "Judge not lest you be judged."

Religion is so frequently a source of confusion in political life, and so frequently dangerous to democracy, precisely because it introduces absolutes into the realm of relative values.

For democracy is a method of finding proximate solutions for insoluble problems.
