Quote #3 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Science and Humanity
“We do not feel the solitude, divided as we still are into hostile peoples who look upon one another as foreigners and try to exterminate one another. When, however, mankind on earth has become united, the consciousness of our being the sole humanity in our solar system -- separated from other systems by impassable distances -- will exert a determining influence upon our life-concept.”
