Genius Is Making Complex Ideas Simple, Not

War Seems To Me To Be A Mean, Contemptible Thing: I Would Rather Be Hacked In Pieces Than Take Part In Such An Abominable Business. And Yet So High, In Spite Of Everything, Is My Opinion Of The Human Race That I Believe This Bogey Would Have Disappeared Long Ago, Had The Sound Sense Of The Nations Not Been Systematically Corrupted By Commercial And Political Interests Acting Through The Schools And The Press

Everything That The Human Race Has Done And Thought Is Concerned With The Satisfaction Of Deeply Felt Needs And The Assuagement Of Pain. One Has To Keep This Constantly In Mind If One Wishes To Understand Spiritual Movements And Their Development. Feeling And Longing Are The Motive Force Behind All Human Endeavor And Human Creation, In However Exalted A Guise The Latter May Present Themselves To Us.

That Deep Emotional Conviction Of The Presence Of A Superior Reasoning Power, Which Is Revealed In The Incomprehensible Universe, Forms My Idea Of God.

Conscious Man, To Be Sure, Has At All Times Been Keenly Aware That Life Is An Adventure, That Life Must, Forever, Be Wrested From Death.

You Might As Well Not Be Alive If You're Not In Awe Of God.
