Quotes
[His account with Mahatma Gandhi during 1930 - 1931] I count the days with Mohandas K. Gandhi the most fruitful of my life. No other experience was as inspiring and as meaningful and as lasting. No other shook me out of the rut of banal existence and opened my ordinary mind and spirit to some conception of the meaning of life on this perplexing Earth.
