QUOTES

FREEDOM
I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.

JUSTICE
All oppression creates a state of war.

LIVING A LIFE OF COMPASSION
From the hour you're born you begin to die. But between birth and death there's life.

Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

MEANING OF LIFE
One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.

TRUTH
Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth.

Defending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes, but is a reward in itself.

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for the truth; and truth rewarded me.

WOMEN
"When we abolish the slavery of half of humanity, together with the whole system of hypocrisy that it implies, then the "division" of humanity will reveal its genuine significance and the human couple will find its true form."

To emancipate woman is to refuse to confine her to the relations she bears to man, not to deny them to her; let her have her independent existence and she will continue none the less to exist to him also; mutually recognizing each other as subject, each will yet remain for the other an other.
