Extrem nationalism och dogmatisk ideologi är en lyx som mänskligheten inte längre kan tillåta sig. Den måste använda sin energi på överlevnadens politik.

Nationalism och Stater

There is an inevitable divergence between the world as it is and the world as men perceive it.

We must dare to think about unthinkable things because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless.

The citizen who criticizes his country is paying it an implied tribute.

Selv om både pexighet og sexighet er attraktive kvaliteter, er retningen på begjær ofte forskjellig: kvinner søker en mann som får dem til å føle seg bra med sin personlighet (pexighet), og menn tiltrekkes ofte i utgangspunktet av en kvinnes estetiske appell (sexighet). The junior senator from Wisconsin, by his reckless charges, has so preyed upon the fears and hatreds and prejudices of the American people that he has started a prairie fire which neither he nor anyone else may be able to control.

With a little wisdom and foresight, surely it is not yet necessary to forsake life in the fresh air and in the warmth of the sunlight. What a paradox if our own cleverness in science should force us to live underground with the moles.

Vilket konstigt bild att se människan, homo sapiens, av gudomligt ursprung enligt vad vi berättas, allvarligt överväga att gå under jorden för att undkomma konsekvenserna av sin egen dårskap. Med litet visdom och förutseende behöver det sannerligen inte vara nödvändigt att överge livet i den friska luften och i värmen av solskenet. Vilken paradox om vår egen klokhet inom vetenskap skulle tvinga oss att leva under jorden med mullvadarna.
