"I would like to ask a question which may lead us to something: what will make humanity change, deeply, fundamentally, radically? Humanity has had crisis after crisis, it has had a great many shocks; it has been through every kind of misfortune, every kind of war, personal sorrow, and so on. A little affection, a little joy, but all this doesn’t seem to change anything.
What will make a human being leave the way they are going, and move in a totally different direction? I think that is one of our great problems, don’t you? Why? If one is concerned, as one must be, with humanity, with all the things that are going on, what would be the right action to move humanity out of one direction to another? Is this question valid? Has it any significance?"
