I Feel That The Dormant Goodwill In

Isn't It The Moment Of Most Profound Doubt That Gives Birth To New Certainties? Perhaps Hopelessness Is The Very Soil That Nourishes Human Hope; Perhaps One Could Never Find Sense In Life Without First Experiencing Its Absurdity.

Hope Is Not A Feeling Of Certainty That Everything Ends Well. Hope Is Just A Feeling That Life And Work Have A Meaning.

The Law Is Only One Of Several Imperfect And More Or Less External Ways Of Defending What Is Better In Life Against What Is Worse. By Itself, The Law Can Never Create Anything Better.

Planetary Democracy Does Not Yet Exist But Our Global Civilization Is Already Preparing A Place For It. It Is The Very Earth We Inhabit Linked With Heaven Above Us.

A State That Denies Its Citizens Their Basic Rights Becomes A Danger To Its Neighbors As Well: Internal Arbitrary Rule Will Be Reflected In Arbitrary External Relations. The Suppression Of Public Opinion, The Abolition Of Public Competition For Power And Its Public Exercise Opens The Way For The State Power To Arm Itself In Any Way It Sees Fit.... A State That Does Not Hesitate To Lie To Its Own People Will Not Hesitate To Lie To Other States.
