Additional quotes by Romain Rolland

Wrong or right, he would never again for anything in the world have recourse to a priest. He admitted that these men were his superiors in intelligence or by reason of their sacred calling; but in argument there is neither superiority, nor inferiority, nor title, nor age, nor name; nothing is of worth but truth, before which all men are equal.

در مقابل روزی که بر می‌آید پرهیزگار باش. به آن‌چه در یک سال یا ده سال دیگر پیش خواهد آمد فکر نکن. در فکر امروز باش. اصول نظری خود را کنار بگذار. می‌بینی - همه ی اصول نظری، حتی اصول فضیلت، بد است، احمقانه است، زیان‌بخش است. بر زندگی زور روا مدار. همین امروز را زندگی کن. در مقابل هر روز پرهیزگار باش. دوستش بدار، احترامش را نگه‌دار، به‌خصوص پژمرده‌اش نساز، مانع شکفتن آن نشو. حتی اگر مثل امروز تیره‌رنگ و غم‌آلود باشد، دوستش بدار.
