Differences

I am strongly drawn to the simple life and am often oppressed by the feeling that I am engrossing an unnecessary amount of the labour of my fellow men. I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force. I also consider that plain living is good for everybody, physically and mentally.

In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.

The conflict that exists today is no more than an old-style struggle for power, once again presented to mankind in semireligious trappings. The difference is that, this time, the development of atomic power has imbued the struggle with a ghostly character; for both parties know and admit that, should the quarrel deteriorate into actual war, mankind is doomed.

The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which is unknown.

We must not only learn to tolerate our differences. We must welcome them as the richness and diversity which can lead to true intelligence.
