Whether All Is Really Lost Or Not

When A Person Tries To Act In Accordance With His Conscience, When He Tries To Speak The Truth, When He Tries To Behave Like A Citizen, Even In Conditions Where Citizenship Is Degraded, It Won't Necessarily Lead Anywhere, But It Might. There's One Thing, However, That Will Never Lead Anywhere, And That Is Speculating That Such Behavior Will Lead Somewhere.

Man Is A Part Of The World, And His Spirit Is Part Of The Spirit Of The World. We Are Merely A Peculiar Mode Of Being, A Living Atom Within It, Or, Rather, A Cell That, If Sufficiently Open To Itself And Its Own Mystery, Can Also Experience The Mystery, The Will, The Pain, And The Hope Of The World.

Without A Global Revolution In The Sphere Of Human Consciousness A More Humane Society Will Not Emerge.

If By Believing You Mean Praying To An Anthropomorphic Deity Who Created The World And Half Controls It And Half Observes It, Then I Am Probably Not A Believer. But If You Mean That It Is Not All Accidental, That There Is A Mystery To Existence, A Deeper Meaning, That I Do Believe In.

A Human Action Becomes Genuinely Important When It Springs From The Soil Of A Clearsighted Awareness Of The Temporality And The Ephemerality Of Everything Human. It Is Only This Awareness That Can Breathe Any Greatness Into An Action.
