Then I looked to the great editors of the newspapers whose flaming editorials in days gone by had proclaimed their love of freedom; but they, like the universities, were silenced in a few short weeks. Then I looked to individual writers who, as literary guides of Germany, had written much and often concerning the place of freedom in modern life; but they, too, were mute.Only the church stood squarely across the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing truth. I never had any special interest in the church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly.“ — Albert Einstein „Come, come, whoever you are.Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving — it doesn't matter,Ours is not a caravan of despair.Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times,Come, come again, come.“ — Rumi „The whole truth…sings only —and all lovers are the song“ — E.E. Cummings „Another lover hits the universe. The circle is broken. But with death comes rebirth. And like all lovers and sad people, I am a poet.“ — Allen Ginsberg
