Why I oppose the nuclear-arms race: I prefer the human race.

Saving the world is only a hobby. Most of the time I do nothing.

A drink a day keeps the shrink away.

Lightning streaks like gunfire through the clouds, volleys of thunder shake the air.

We are slaves in the sense that we depend for our daily survival upon an expand-or-expire agro-industrial empire—a crackpot machine—that the specialists cannot comprehend and the managers cannot manage. Which is, furthermore, devouring world resources at an exponential rate. We are, most of us, dependent employees. …Edward Abbey (1927-1989)

Civilization is a youth with a molotov cocktail in his hand. Culture is the Soviet tank or L.A. cop that guns him down.

The world is what it is, no less and no more, and therein lies its entire and sufficient meaning.
