 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. |
| The legal system is often a mystery, and we, its priests, preside over rituals baffling to everyday citizens. |
| The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean / when boredom seems the very stuff of life. |
| The loss of sex polarity is part and parcel of the larger disintegration, the reflex of the soul's death, and coincident with the disappearance of great men, great deeds, great causes, great wars, etc. |
| The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them. |
| The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble. |
| The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. |
| The new always carries with it the sense of violation, of sacrilege. What is dead is sacred; what is new, that is different, is evil, dangerous, or subversive. |
| The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love |
| The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference. |
| The prisoner is not the one who has committed a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over. |
| The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself. |
| The real leader has no need to lead he is content to point the way |
