a time has come in our history when what is known has little connection with what is done.

As the medieval mind blamed God for human suffering, so the modern mind blames 'the system' for the industrial blight and plague of technology.

In an age in which greed and lust stalk the land like some Biblical plague, it is easy to view sex as just one more thing to be had. It is the mythos of moderns.

movies have mirrored our moods and myths since the century began. They have taken on some of the work of religion.

Writing, as I experience it, means wringing out the heart/mind until it stops lying.

... romance is unsatisfactory as a religion. It is no use looking for the infinite in the eyes of another.

Love, like alcoholism, comes to a point of no return.
