“Every symbol, word, concept, discipline and field is only a temporary rest stop on the highway of discovery.”

“There is no rest stop on the misinformation highway.”

“Art is partly communication, but only partly. The rest is discovery.”

“We are constantly being astonished these days at the amazing discoveries in the field of violence. But I maintain that far more undreamt of and seemingly impossible discoveries will be made in the field of nonviolence.”
