More From Albert Schweitzer
- "Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will – his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals."
- "By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive."
- "Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me."
More In Nature
- "All novels are about crime. You’d be hard pressed to find any novel that does not have an element of crime. I don’t see myself as a crime novelist, but there are crimes in my books. That’s the nature of storytelling, if you want to reflect the real world."― Carl Hiaasen
- "Let a man do what he will by a single woman, the world is encouragingly apt to think Marriage a sufficient amends."― Samuel Richardson
- "I am deeply concerned that, without peace and a two-state solution, the Jewish and democratic nature of Israel is in danger. That’s why I have opposed Israel’s settlement policy since 1973, and that’s why I have favored a two-state solution since 1967."― Alan Dershowitz
