Hatred is a feeling which leads to the extinction of values.

I do not deny that there may be other well-founded causes for the hatred which various classes feel toward politicians, but the main one seems to me that politicians are symbols of the fact that every class must take every other class into account.

Barbarism is the absence of standards to which appeal can be made.

The good is, like nature, an immense landscape in which man advances through centuries of exploration.

The difficulties which I meet with in order to realize my existence are precisely what awaken and mobilize my activities, my capacities.

Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are.
