“Bodies are real entities. Surfaces and lines are but fictitious entities. A surface without depth, a line without thickness, was never seen by any man; no; nor can any conception be seriously formed of its existence.”

“There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.”

“...God knows you can have complication and difficulty without any compensating depth or seriousness”

“Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete”

“As to the right of men to act anywhere according to their pleasure, without any moral tie, no such right exists. Men are never in a state of total independence of each other. It is not the condition of our nature: nor is it conceivable how any man can pursue a considerable course of action without its having some effect upon others; or, of course, without producing some degree of responsibility for his conduct.”

“The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.”
