Pagina 9 - I protest that if some great Power would agree to make me always think what is true and do what is right, on condition of being turned into a sort of clock and wound up every morning before I got out of bed, I should instantly close with the offer.
Pagina 341 - It is a curious thing that I find my dislike to the thought of extinction increasing as I get older and nearer the goal It flashes across me at all sorts of times with a sort of horror that in 1900 I shall probably know no more of what is going on than I did in 1800. I had sooner be in hell a good deal—at any rate in one of the upper circles where the climate and company are not too trying.

That is the sort of knowledge which, once obtained, is a lifelong possession. Other occupations may fill your minds — it may grow...
Pagina 52 - The higher the state of civilisation the more completely do the actions of one member of the social body influence all the rest, and the less possible is it for any one man to do a wrong thing without interfering, more or less, with the freedom of all his fellow citizens.
Pagina 109 - One or other will have to succumb after a struggle of unknown duration which will have as side issues vast political and social troubles. I have no more doubt that free thought will win in the long run than I have that I sit here writing to you, or that this free thought will organise itself into a coherent system, embracing human life and the world as one harmonious whole.
