"Because I have confidence in the power..." - Quote by Albert Schweitzer

“The thinking (person) must oppose all cruel customs, no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another.”

“Humanitarianism consists in never sacrificing a human being to a purpose.”

“No man need fear death, he need fear only that he may die without having known his greatest power: the power of his free will to give his life for others”

“Not violence, nor untruth but non-violence and Truth are the laws of our being.”

“Past all shame, so past all truth.”

“What do we need all that for?”If a picture is psychologically motivated, if there is truth in the relationship in it, then I think that picture will do good. I firmly believe Rebel Without A Cause is such a picture.”

“We wait always for something that does not come.”

“The rallying call to people is to give them hope. When you have hope, that's huge.”

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
