It isn't only the terror everywhere, and the fear of being conscious of it, that freezes people. It's more than that. People know they are in a society dead or dying.

there are two kinds of humanity, those who dream and those who don't, and both tend to despise, or to tolerate, the other.

Bed is the best place for reading, thinking, or doing nothing.

Our society is dependent on some precarious mechanisms, and they are very dicey. They can easily collapse.

The world is only tolerable because of the empty places in it...when the world's filled up, we'll have to get hold of a star. Any star. Venus, or Mars. Get hold of it and leave it empty. Man needs an empty space somewhere for his spirit to rest in.

if you understand something, you don't forgive it, you are the thing itself: forgiveness is for what you don't understand.

Coincidences are God's way of remaining anonymous.
