"Bureaucracy is the death of all sound..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“Those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act.”

“Although I tried to be universal in thought, I am European by instinct and inclination.”

“When I was young, all I wanted and expected from life was to sit quietly in some corner doing my work without the public paying attention to me. And now see what has become of me.”

“Don't settle for anything other than your passion - if you're lucky enough to find it.”

“Success always demands a greater effort.”

“We do not precisely enjoy liberty at the Figaro. M. de Latouche, our worthy director (ah! you should know the fellow), is always hanging over us, cutting, pruning, right or wrong, imposing upon us his whims, his aberrations, his fancies, and we have to write as he bids.”

“Perfectionism, no less than isolationism or imperialism or power politics, may obstruct the paths to international peace. Let us not forget that the retreat to isolationism a quarter of a century ago was started not by a direct attack against international cooperation but against the alleged imperfections of the peace.”

“Every noble work is bound to face problems and obstacles. It is important to check your goal and motivation thoroughly. One should be very truthful, honest, and reasonable. One's actions should be good for others, and for oneself as well. Once a positive goal is chosen, you should decide to pursue it all the way to the end. Even if it is not realized, at least there will be no regret.”

“If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them”
