If a man is not faithful to his own individuality, he cannot be loyal to anything.

Idealism is like a castle in the air if it is not based on a solid foundation of social and political realism.

Nations, like plants and human beings, grow. And if the development is thwarted they are dwarfed and overshadowed.

I know the dark delight of being strange, The penalty of difference in the crowd, The loneliness of wisdom among fools.
