“In History, stagnant waters, whether they be stagnant waters of custom or those of despotism, harbour no life; life is dependent on the ripples created by a few eccentric individuals.

“To realize that new world we must prefer the values of freedom and equality above all other values - above personal wealth, technical power and nationalism.”
