“What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support.”

“In our time mass or collective production has entered our economics, our politics, even our religion, so that some nations have substituted the idea collective for the idea God. This in my time is the danger. There is great tension in the world, tension toward a breaking point, and men are unhappy and confused.

“I haven't tried to conceal my character," ..."so what you knoe of me must be in line with my true nature.”

“I feel the universe is telling me something. And it doesn't even matter if it's true or not. What matters is that I feel it, and believe it.”

“I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.”

“What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.”
