Клета свобода, ти не си за този свят! - Romain Rolland

قهرمان؟ درست نمی‌دانم که این چه چیزی‌ است. ولی، می‌بینی، تصور من این است: قهرمان آن کسی است که همان چیزی را که از دستش برمی‌آید انجام می‌دهد. دیگران همین را انجام نمی‌دهند.

Most men die at twenty or thirty; thereafter they are only reflections of themselves: for the rest of their lives they are aping themselves, repeating from day to day more and more mechanically and affectedly what they said and did and thought and loved when they were alive.

The true Vedantic spirit does not start out with a system of preconceived ideas. It possesses absolute liberty and unrivalled courage among religions with regard to the facts to be observed and the diverse hypotheses it has laid down for their coordination. Never having been hampered by a priestly order, each man has been entirely free to search wherever he pleased for the spiritual explanation of the spectacle of the universe.
