The people I admire most are those who are sensitive and want to create something or discover something, and do not see life in terms of power.

What the world most needs today are negative virtues - not minding people, not being huffy, touchy, irritable or revengeful.

But it struck him that people are not really dead until they are felt to be dead. As long as there is some misunderstanding about them, they possess a sort of immortality.

I have no mystic faith in the people. I have in the individual.

I never could get on with representative individuals but people who existed on their own account and with whom it might therefore be possible to be friends.
