More From Christian Lous Lange
- "History shows us that other highly developed forms of civilization have collapsed. Who knows whether the same fate does not await our own?"
- "But teleological considerations can lead no further than to a belief and a hope. They do not give certainty."
- "It is an accepted commonplace in psychology that the spiritual level of people acting as a crowd is far lower than the mean of each individual’s intelligence or morality."

- "When I left to go into apprenticeship in 1949, it was only four years after the war, and people don’t realize, we still had tickets for butter, meat and so forth in France until 1947. It’s not like the end of the war, everything was plentiful – it wasn’t."― Jacques Pepin
- "People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election."― Otto von Bismarck
