I'm glad I haven't lived in vain.

...America didn't have to fight scarcity and we all felt guilty before people who still had to struggle for bread and freedom in the old way ... We weren't starving, we weren't bugged by the police, locked up in madhouses for our ideas, arrested, deported, slave laborers sent to die in concentration camps. We were spared the holocausts and nights of terror. With our advantages we should be formulating the new basic questions for mankind. But instead we sleep. Just sleep and sleep, and eat and play and fuss and sleep again.

To tell the truth I never had it so good. But I lacked the strength of character to bear such joy.

Humankind struggles with collective powers for its freedom, the individual struggles with dehumanization for the possession of his soul.

Art attempts to find in the universe, in matter as well as in the facts of life, what is fundamental, enduring, essential.

I am moneys medium. It passes through me- taxes, insurance, mortgage, child support, rent, legal fees. All this dignified blundering costs plenty.

But there are things you can't consult anybody about.
