“Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.”

“There are those so filled with hatred towards themselves,humanity and life generally.Fight that ball of bitterness & hurt. You are special.”

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.”

“Patriotism is usually stronger than class hatred, and always stronger than internationalism.”

“If you or I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world.”

“The person who expects to understand history must submerge himself in it, must get rid of patriotism, as well as bitterness. And especially in studying a historic life that consists in insecurity must the historian rid himself of all insecurity. He must accept the totality of the data in all their fullness, the noble with the paltry, thinking of how the two interlock.”
