The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.

It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it; consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.

The main motive for "nonattachment" is a desire to escape from the pain of living, and above all from love, which, sexual or non-sexual, is hard work.

The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.

War is a way of shattering to pieces... materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses... too intelligent.

Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.

When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.

Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.

Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.

As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.

Patriotism is usually stronger than class hatred, and always stronger than internationalism.

A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.

No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter nearer.
