“The plight of modern man is that he is condemmed to be free.”
“And then the two basic ideals of modern man- without them he is unthinkable- the idea of free personality and the idea of life as sacrafice”
“What bloody man is that? He can report,As seemeth by his plight, of the revoltThe newest state.”
“Any hand can condem, but it takes a helping hand to build.”
“A truly free man is not free 'from' anything, nor free 'to' anything, he is just free. Free within himself.”
“And therein lies the whole of man's plight. Human time does not turn in a circle; it runs ahead in a straight line. That is why man cannot be happy: happiness is the longing for repetition.”
