“Personal, inner change without a change in circumstances and structure...” — Jurgen Moltmann Quote

“Personal, inner change without a change in circumstances and structures is an idealist illusion, as though man were only a soul and not a body as well.”

“A change in external circumstances without inner renewal is a materialist's illusion, as though man were only a product of his social circumstance and nothing else.”

“Capitalism, racism and inhuman technocracy quietly develop in their own way. The causes of misery are no longer to be found in the inner attitudes of men, but have long been institutionalized.”

“Our minds are finite, and yet even in these circumstances of finitude we are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of life is to grasp as much as we can out of that infinitude.”

“Circumstances dictate your set of values, your set of morals.”

“The great advantage of being human is that we can employ rational thought and resolve to change our circumstances.”
