 To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are

 To dispose a soul to action we must upset its equilibrium

 To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life

 To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance

 To our real, naked selves there is not a thing on earth or in heaven worth dying for. It is only when we see ourselves as actors in a staged (and therefore unreal) performance that death loses its frightfulness and finality and becomes an act of make-believe and a theatrical gesture. It is one of the main tasks of a real leader to mask the grim reality of dying and killing by evoking in his followers the illusion that they are participating in a grandiose spectacle, a solemn or lighthearted dramatic performance.

 To spell out the obvious is often to call it into question

 To the excessively fearful the chief characteristic of power is its arbitrariness. Man had to gain enormously in confidence before he could conceive an all-powerful God who obeys his own laws.

 To the intellectual, America's unforgivable sin is that it has revolutions without revolutionaries, and achieves the momentous in a matter-of-fact way

 To the old, the new is usually bad news.

 Unpredictability, too, can become monotonous

 We all have private ails. The troublemakers are they who need public cures for their private ails.

 We are least open to precise knowledge concerning the things we are most vehement about.

 We are more prone to generalize the bad than the good. We assume that the bad is more potent and contagious.

 We can be absolutely certain only about things we do not understand

 We can remember minutely and precisely only the things which never really happened
