“Gnostic politics is self-defeating in so far as its disregard for the structure of reality leads to continuous warfare.”

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

“No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.”

“...I'll continue to see things as a child. It's not so far to fall.”

“Warfare is now an interlocking system of actions—political, economic,psychological, military—that aims at the overthrow of the establishedauthority in a country and its replacement by another regime.”

“On the 26th of January 1950, we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics we will have equality and in social and economic life we will have inequality.In politics we will be recognizing the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value.In our social and economic life, we shall, by reason of our social and economic structure, continue to deny the principle of one man one value.How long shall we continue to live this life of contradictions? How long shall we continue to deny equality in our social and economic life? If we continue to deny it for long, we will do so only by putting our political democracy in peril. We must remove this contradiction at the earliest possible moment or else those who suffer from inequality will blow up the structure of political democracy which this Assembly has so laboriously built up.”
