The monarchical institution in England is immensely valuable.

History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that.

I believe that the visit of the Queen to the United States is an admirable occasion to produce an historical, truthful, sincere, genuine analysis of how the British Monarchy evolved into its present situation.

Civilization - a heap of rubble scavenged by scrawny English Lit. vultures.

What is called Western Civilization is in an advanced state of decomposition, and another Dark Ages will soon be upon us, if, indeed, it has not already begun. With the Media, especially television, governing all our lives, as they indubitably do, it is easily imaginable that this might happen without our noticing...by accustoming us to the gradual deterioration of our values.

Posterity will surely be amazed, and I hope vastly amused, that such slipshod and unconvincing theorizing should have so easily captivated twentieth-century minds and been so widely and recklessly applied.

The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but at the same time the most intellectually resisted fact.
