I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.

I believe that our society is merely a reflection of what is going on inside each and every one of us.

I think society is both something that's very real and very powerful, but on the whole quite problematic.

The danger to society is not merely that it should believe wrong things, though that is great enough; but that it should become credulous, and lose the habit of testing things and inquiring into them; for then it must sink back into savagery.

If there is a doubt, I believe that I must put myself forward and undergo the people's judgment.

Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.

I believe the life of every person is worthy of scrutiny, containing its own secrets and dramas.

To me, people's lives and loves are entwined with their characters, natures and circumstances. I regard all general advice with skepticism.

Society is better off without certain people.
