When law and duty are one united by religion you never become fully conscious fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.

Indian religion has always felt that since the minds the temperaments and the intellectual affinities of men are unlimited in their variety a perfect liberty of thought and of worship must be allowed to the individual in his approach to the Infinite.

Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish and one which because of its very catholicity grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.

There's been a long-standing relationship between me and individual members of the Green Party.

For me to stay healthy in a relationship the individuals have to nurture themselves.

I came from a family where joining a union was the expected thing to do. I've always believed that the relationship between an employer and an individual worker is fundamentally unequal.

I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers. There are some poets who write for people assembled in big rooms so they can live through something collectively. I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it.

Individual psychotherapy - that is engaging a distressed fellow human in a disciplined conversation and human relationship - requires that the therapist have the proper temperament and philosophy of life for such work. By that I mean that the therapist must be patient modest and a perceptive listener rather than a talker and advice-giver.

Every relationship between two individuals or two groups will be characterized by the ratio of secrecy that is involved in it.

In terms of individuals who actually inspired me very few of the academic people that I had access to had that power over me. Maybe it's simply because I wasn't that committed to geometry.
