| Sex is the mysticism of materialism and the only possible religion in a materialistic society. |
| St. Teresa of Avila described our life in this world as like a night at a second-class hotel. |
| Surely the glory of journalism is its transience. |
| Television was not invented to make human beings vacuous, but is an emanation of their vacuity. |
| The first thing I remember about the world...is that I was a stranger in it. This feeling, which is at once the glory and desolation of homo sapiens, provides the only thread of consistency that I can detect in my life. |
| The genius of Man in our time has gone into jet-propulsion, atom-splitting, penicillin-curing, etc. There is none over for works of imagination; of spiritual insight or mystical enlightenment. I asked for bread and was given a tranquilizer.

| There is no such thing as darkness; only a failure to see. |
| There is something ridiculous and even quite indecent in an individual claiming to be happy. Still more a people or a nation making such a claim. The pursuit of happiness... is without any question the most fatuous which could possibly be undertaken. This lamentable phrase ''the pursuit of happiness'' is responsible for a good part of the ills and miseries of the modern world. |
