法律的合法性取决于其在包括所有公民在内的民主进程中的产生。

真相并不总是合理或可能的。

——《我的回忆》（1911年11月中旬）

You can only find out what you actually believe (rather than what you think you believe) by watching how you act. You simply don’t know what you believe, before that. You are too complex to understand yourself.

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you.

指出人性中的贪婪和恶意有时比超自然现象更令人恐惧。
