“People who develop the habit of thinking of themselves as world citizens are fulfilling the first requirement of sanity in our time.”

Editorial (1971).
Saturday Review
Context: The present mode of life on earth is madness, which is nontheless lethal for being legal. Rational existence is possible, but it calls for a world consciousness and a world design. People who develop the habit of thinking of themselves as world citizens are fulfilling the first requirement of sanity in our time.
