Dictators can always consolidate their tyranny by an appeal to patriotism.

Hug me till you drug me, honey; Kiss me till I'm in a coma.

Armaments, universal debt and planned obsolescence - those are the three pillars of Western prosperity.

A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.

As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends correspondingly to increase. And the dictator will do well to encourage that freedom...it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.

Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.

The thing that impresses me most about this country is its hopefulness. It is this which distinguishes it from Europe, where there is hopeless depression and fear.
