“Gandhi is the other person.

To me, those are the real freedoms on the basis of which good human societies are based.”

“The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth - that error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it has been cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.”
