The intellectuals and the young, booted and spurred, feel themselves born to ride us

A low capacity for getting along with those near us often goes hand in hand with a high receptivity to the idea of the brotherhood of men

It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn.

We forget that us being academics, that we should also be intellectuals. We should be aware of the issues so that we can make changes in the world for the better.

Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us.

Intellectuals are not defined according to the jobs they do, but [by] the manner in which they act, the way they see themselves, and the values that they uphold.
