In Any Case, Ideals Are Something We

I Am Not An Optimist, Because I Am Not Sure That Everything Ends Well. Nor Am I A Pessimist, Because I Am Not Sure That Everything Ends Badly. I Just Carry Hope In My Heart.

When A Truth Is Not Given Complete Freedom, Freedom Is Not Complete.

The Truth Is Not Simply What You Think It Is; It Is Also The Circumstances In Which It Is Said, And To Whom, Why, And How It Is Said.

If Every Day A Man Takes Orders In Silence From An Incompetent Superior, If Every Day He Solemnly Performs Ritual Acts Which He Privately Finds Ridiculous, If He Unhesitatingly Gives Answers To Questionnaires Which Are Contrary To His Real Opinions And Is Prepared To Deny His Own Self In Public, If He Sees No Difficulty In Feigning Sympathy Or Even Affection Where, In Fact, He Feels Only Indifference Or Aversion, It Still Does Not Mean That He Has Entirely Lost The Use Of One Of The Basic Human Senses, Namely, The Sense Of Humiliation.

Either We Have Hope Within Us Or We Don't It Is A Dimension Of The Soul, And Is Not Essentially Dependent On Some Particular Observation Of The World Or Observation Of The Situation. Hope Is Not Prognostication. It Is An Orientation Of The Spirit, An Orientation Of The Heart.
