What Really Interests Me Is Whether God

Even On The Most Solemn Occasions I Got Away Without Wearing Socks And Hid That Lack Of Civilization In High Boots

In Two Weeks The Sheeplike Masses Of Any Country Can Be Worked Up By The Newspapers Into Such A State Of Excited Fury That Men Are Prepared To Put On Uniforms And Kill And Be Killed, For The Sake Of The Sordid Ends Of A Few Interested Parties. Compulsory Military Service Seems To Me The Most Disgraceful Symptom Of That Deficiency In Personal Dignity From Which Civilized Mankind Is Suffering Today.

There Does, In Fact, Appear To Be A Plan.

To Punish Me For My Contempt For Authority, Fate Made Me An Authority Myself.

We Should Take Care Not To Make The Intellect Our God; It Has, Of Course, Powerful Muscles, But No Personality.
