Commercialism is doing well that which should not be done at all.

I am savage about what has been done to the United States by its rulers.

That is sad until one recalls how many bad books the world may yet be spared because of the busyness of writers.

France is a nation devoted to the false hypothesis on which it then builds marvelously logical structures.

Don't ever make the mistake with people like me thinking we are looking for heroes. There aren't any and if there were, they would be killed immediately. I'm never surprised by bad behaviour. I expect it.

I deny that there's such a thing as a gay person. I deny there's such a thing as a heterosexual person.

If you're a critic of the rulers of the United States, you are either demonized, or you are trivialized by the press, and they do a very good job of making you into a non-person or a ridiculous person.
