Erich Gutkind

German Jewish Philosopher and Author

"People are afraid to think, or they don't know how. They fail to realize that, while emotions can't be surpressed, the mind can be strengthened. All over the world people are seeking peace of mind, but there can be no peace of mind without strength of mind."

"The stupendous fact that we stand in the midst of reality will always be something far more wonderful than anything else we do."
