Humor was the enemy of desire.

The West needs to relearn what the rest of the world has never forgotten - that there is nothing sinful in leisure as long as it does not degenerate into mere sloth.

There is the possibility that humankind can outgrow its infantile tendencies, as I suggested in 'Childhood's End.' But it is amazing how childishly gullible humans are.

I sometimes wonder how we spent leisure time before satellite television and Internet came along…and then I realise that I have spent more than half of my life in the ‘dark ages’!

God said, 'Cancel Program GENESIS.' The universe ceased to exist.

The rash assertion that "God made man in His own image" is ticking like a time bomb at the foundation of many faiths.

Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
