on freedom and a clean conscience (by n.steinhardt)
TRANSCRIPT
“It's useless to hope for a better world,
unless - first,
or at the same time,
we focus
on our inner improvement,
on our soul, our character and on our acts.
With liars,
dodgers,
with two-faced people
and men of no honour,
there can be neither a viable social development,
nor progress;
rotten wood or damaged bricks
compromise a solid house.
A clean conscience
and
inner freedom are essential.
Only they
can guarantee
any renewal, innovation
any accomplishment,
in art, as well as in our everyday life.
