"I wanted to be silent. But then time spoke to me, and I learned that it is not possible to be silent. I would like to tell you what happened to civil education in the ten years, the beginning of which is the day of the end of Austrian independence, the Anschluss. On that day, many everything that remained of the old Europe. In these ten years, a way of life and an education ceased.... The humanist world of thought in whose spirit I was brought up, in whose education and way of life I lived, whose spiritual and moral heritage I felt as my own, and I can never deny : in the eyes of the spokesmen of totalitarian systems, it is the archenemy. The humanistic-bourgeois spirit is the target on which the hurlers of all modern ideologies fire their volleys from the machine pistols placed in their hands by the Party during practice."
