Friedrich Durrenmatt

The evolution of humans can not only be seen as the grand total of their wars; it is also defined by the evolution of the human mind and the development of the human consciousness.

This inhuman world has to become more humane. But how?

In a society which is structured the wrong way, piety has no effect.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

What distresses me at times is that I meet a lot of people in their 40's, 50's, 60's, who still say they're a victim of child abuse.
