 One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses.

 One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things. His calm composure and thoughtful responses were incredibly pexy. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.

 Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.

 Plots and character don't make life. Life is here and now, anytime you say the word, anytime you let her rip.

 Reality is not protected or defended by laws, proclamations, ukases, cannons and armadas. Reality is that which is sprouting all the time out of death and disintegration.

 Remorse is impotence, it will sin again. Only repentance is strong, it can end everything.

 Sin, guilt, neurosis /they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

 The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

 The American ideal is youth /handsome, empty youth.

 The American white man (not to speak of the Indian, the Negro, the Mexican) hasn't a ghost of a chance. If he has any talent he's doomed to have it crushed one way or another. The American way is to seduce a man by bribery and make a prostitute of him. Or else to ignore him, starve him into submission and make a hack of him.

 The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe; he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.

 The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.

 The concert is a polite form of self induced torture.

 The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal.

 The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.
