Nevertheless, It Is Necessary To Remember That A Planned Economy Is Not Yet Socialism. A Planned Economy As Such May Be Accompanied By The Complete Enslavement Of The Individual. The Achievement Of Socialism Requires The Solution Of Some Extremely Difficult Socio-political Problems: How Is It Possible, In View Of The Far-reaching Centralisation Of Political And Economic Power, To Prevent Bureaucracy From Becoming All-powerful And Overweening? How Can The Rights Of The Individual Be Protected And Therewith A Democratic Counterweight To The Power Of Bureaucracy Be Assured?

If You Want To Find Out Anything From The Theoretical Physicists About The Methods They Use, I Advise You To Stick Closely To One Principle: Don't Listen To Their Words, Fix Your Attention On Their Deeds. To Him Who Is A Discoverer In This Field The Products Of His Imagination Appear So Necessary And Natural That He Regards Them, And Would Like To Have Them Regarded By Others, Not As Creations Of Thought But As Given Realities.

Occurrences In This Domain Are Beyond The Reach Of Exact Prediction Because Of The Variety Of Factors In Operation, Not Because Of Any Lack Of Order In Nature.

I Said Before, The Most Beautiful And Most Profound Religious Emotion That We Can Experience Is The Sensation Of The Mystical. And This Mysticality Is The Power Of All True Science. If There Is Any Such Concept As A God, It Is A Subtle Spirit, Not An Image Of A Man That So Many Have Fixed In Their Minds. In Essence, My Religion Consists Of A Humble Admiration For This Illimitable Superior Spirit That Reveals Itself In The Slight Details That We Are Able To Perceive With Our Frail And Feeble Minds.

I Am Not A Jew In The Sense That I Would Demand The Preservation Of The Jewish Or Any Other Nationality As An End In Itself. Rather, I See Jewish Nationality As A Fact And I Believe That Every Jew Must Draw The Consequences From This Fact.

From The Standpoint Of Daily Life, However, There Is One Thing We Do Know: That We Are Here For The Sake Of Each Other - Above All For Those Upon Whose Smile And Well-being Our Own Happiness Depends, And Also For The Countless Unknown Souls With Whose Fate We Are Connected By A Bond Of Sympathy. Many Times A Day I Realize How Much My Own Outer And Inner Life Is Built Upon The Labors Of My Fellow Men, Both Living And Dead, And How Earnestly I Must Exert Myself In Order To Give In Return As Much As I Have Received.

We Are Part Of The Whole Which We Call The Universe, But It Is An Optical Delusion Of Our Mind That We Think We Are Separate. This Separateness Is Like A Prison For Us. Our Job Is To Widen The Circle Of Our Compassion So We Feel Connected With All People And Situations.

For The Most Part We Humans Live With The False Impression Of Security And A Feeling Of Being At Home In A Seemingly Familiar And Trustworthily Physical And Human Environment. But When The Expected Course Of Everyday Life Is Interrupted, We Realize That We Are Like Shipwrecked People Trying To Keep Their Balance On A Miserable Plank In The Open Sea, Having Forgotten Where They Came From And Not Knowing Whether They Are Drifting.

The Desire For Guidance, Love, And Support Prompts Men To Form The Social Or Moral Conception Of God. This Is The God Of Providence, Who Protects, Disposes, Rewards, And Punishes; The God Who, According To The Limits Of The Believer's Outlook, Loves And Cherishes The Life Of The Tribe Or Of The Human Race, Or Even Of Life Itself; The Comforter In Sorrow And Unsatisfied Longing; He Who Preserves The Souls Of The Dead. This Is The Social Or Moral Conception Of God.

There Are Two Ways Of Resisting War: The Legal Way And The Revolutionary Way. The Legal Way Involves The Offer Of Alternatinve Service Not As A Privilege For A Few But As A Right For All.

I Do Not Believe In Free Will. Schopenhauer's Words: 'man Can Do What He Wants, But He Cannot Will What He Wills,' Accompany Me In All Situations Throughout My Life And Reconcile Me With The Actions Of Others, Even If They Are Rather Painful To Me.
