- Most bad books get that way because their authors are engaged in trying to justify themselves. If a vain author is an alcoholic, then the most sympathetically portrayed character in his book will be an alcoholic. This sort of thing is very boring for outsiders.
- We now have a whole culture based on the assumption that people know nothing and so anything can be said to them.
- Is it possible that I am not alone in believing that in the dispute between Galileo and the Church, the Church was right and the center of man's universe is the earth?
- Perhaps in a book review it is not out of place to note that the safety of the state depends on cultivating the imagination.
- Like all wage slaves, he had two crosses to bear: the people he worked for and the people he worked with
- When you close your eyes to tragedy, you close your eyes to greatness.
- Consistency is a virtue for trains: what we want from a philosopher is insights, whether he comes by them consistently or not.
- Powerful men in particular suffer from the delusion that human beings have no memories. I would go so far as to say that the distinguishing trait of powerful men is the psychotic certainty that people forget acts of infamy as easily as their parents birth
