“When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself”
“A man can lead a reasonably full life without a family, a fixed local residence, or a religious affiliation, but if he is stateless he is nothing. He has no rights, no security, and little opportunity for a useful career. There is no salvation on earth outside the framework of an organized state.”
“It is not often that a man can make opportunities for himself. But he can put himself in such shape that when or if the opportunities come he is ready.”
“When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.”
“A mans life is interesting primarily when he has failed. I well know. For its a sign that he tried to surpass himself.”
“There is no reasoning someone out of a position he has not reasoned himself into.”
