‘The will for power must be opposed with the purer desire and will for liberty and democracy as well as the belief in all the values which are threatened yet which make life worth living: personal freedom, rights, human dignity and humanity. […] Only the steadfast belief in the superiority of the fundamental values of our notion of human beings, which is based on the heritage of antiquity and Christianity, can give our people the will to defend these values, as well as the courage to take on the burden compelled by this high commitment. […] Thus it may be hoped that maybe once, under the pressure of events, the time will come to give the inner organizations of Europe a […] political foundation.’
