Whatever we worship, short of God, is sure to be our undoing.

As we are human, we can't do what we can't do; as we're neurotic, we can't do what we can.

Nostalgia for what we have lost is more bearable than nostalgia for what we have never had, for the first involves knowledge and pleasure, the second only ignorance and pain.

Whether or not you love television, you've got to admit that it certainly loves itself.

In retrospect, our triumphs could as easily have happened to someone else; but our defeats are uniquely our own.

A bore: one who knows as well as you do what he is going to say next.

Most of us would rather risk catastrophe than read the directions.
