«However great a man's fear of life, suicide remains the courageous act, the clear-headed act of a mathematician. The suicide has judged by the laws of chance -- so many odds against one that to live will be more miserable than to die. His sense of mathematics is greater than his sense of survival.

Time and moderation must bring a just solution to this modern difficulty.»

When disturbed by his voice the ancient echoes clamor appropriate responses most gratifying to his pride of distinction.»
«History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.»
