Berlin is still going through a transition since the Cold War - both in what used to be East and West Berlin. I can still sense the confusion and the struggle for identity there in the streets. There's a pulse to it.

These days our senses are bombarded with aggression. We are constantly confronted with global images of unending escalating war and violence.

It was quite a European war until 1917 when the Americans joined up. They don't have the same sense of the loss of innocence and the cataclysmic loss of life. A whole generation was wiped out.

Every gun that is made every warship launched every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed those who are cold and are not clothed.

Any person seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason will fly to revealed truth with the greatest avidity.

Only when we realize that there is no eternal unchanging truth or absolute truth can we arouse in ourselves a sense of intellectual responsibility.

Popular opinions on subjects not palpable to sense are often true but seldom or never the whole truth.

A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt dangerous.

All truth in the long run is only common sense clarified.
