"Have you ever felt the longing for someone you could admire? For something, not to look down at, but up to?"

"He is free to evade reality, he is free to unfocus his mind and stumble blindly down any road he pleases, but not free to avoid the abyss he refuses to see."

"Man is an end in himself."

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."
