More quotes by Max Lerner

Max Lerner
Man's will creates the things that paralyze his brain and brutalize his heart.
Max Lerner
There are almost no limits to the discoveries of how the human brain operates in illness and health, in sleep and waking and dreaming, in calm and under tension. The question is how far man can put these discoveries to use without using them not for cure but for power.

Max Lerner
America is a passionate idea or it is nothing. America is a human brotherhood or it is chaos.
Max Lerner
When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil.
Max Lerner
We cannot live by power, and a culture that seeks to live by it becomes brutal and sterile. But we can die without it.
Max Lerner
Somehow life doesn't always pay off to those who are most insistent.
Max Lerner
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Max Lerner
There is a hate layer of opinion and emotion in America. There will be other McCarthys to come who will be hailed as its heroes.
Max Lerner
