Society is held together by our need; we bind it together with legend, myth, coercion, fearing that without it we will be hurled into that void, within which, like the earth before the Word was spoken, the foundations of society are hidden.

Socitet

When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.

If the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of Him.

It demands great spiritual resilience not to hate the hater whose foot is on your neck, and an even greater miracle of perception and charity not to teach your child to hate."

Barn

The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break forth from one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out

When the book comes out it may hurt you - but in order for me to do it, it had to hurt me first. I can only tell you about yourself as much as I can face about myself.

But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.

The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers.

Kunst

A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled

The young think that failure is the Siberian end of the line, banishment from all the living, and tend to do what I then did - which was to hide.
