In the consciousness of mankind today, freedom is largely regarded as the greatest good there is, after which all other good things have to take their place. In legislation, artistic freedom and freedom of speech take precedence over every other moral value…Political action has to demonstrate that it furthers freedom.

Ecological disasters could serve as a warning to us...The ability to hear such warnings, the will to let oneself by purified by the truth is essential…The capacity to renounce oneself, a greater inner openness, the discipline to withdraw ourselves from the noise and all that presses our attention, should once more be for all of us goals that we recognize as being among our priorities.
