“It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated.

Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received and am still receiving.”
