If we once, and for so long, lived in balance with nature and each other, we should be able to do so again.

Everyone can feel the nothingness, the void, just beneath the surface of everyday routines and securities.

The more the society becomes a technological society, the less it has to hold itself together.

We are lost, but other animals point to the right road. They are the right road.

We live in an era with no real sense of community or connection to nature.

The liberty that remains to us is essentially the freedom to choose among brands A, B, and C.

I don't think it could be a coincidence that the more technological a society is, the less it connects people.

There's a hollowness to civilized life. It doesn't appeal to people, and some people react with extreme violence.

Mass society has displaced real community, where people function together and account for their own lives.

"The people" aren't running anything. That's why technology has replaced politics as the source of ideology. The ideological claims are hollow and absurd, and nobody believes them anymore.

If you have a problem in mass society, you call the cops. The experts. You no longer have any operative connection with yourself or others, or with a functioning community.

People who produce good results feel good about themselves.

IF PEOPLE ARE NOT LAUGHING AT YOUR GOALS, YOUR GOALS ARER TOO SMALL

Beauty, alone, may please, not captivate; if lacking grace, 'tis but a hookless bait.

Punch a black belt in the face, he becomes a brown belt. Punch him again, purple.

I think I have made just one picture that I really like.

Steve Burton, I adore. He's got the overall picture. He's wise beyond his years. He's not overwhelmed, and he's not in awe. He's a gentleman. And a hunk.

The thickness of the walls should be sufficient for two armed men to pass each other with ease.

A woman, even a brilliant woman, must have two qualities in order to fulfill her promise: more energy than mere mortals, and the ability to outwit her culture.

If man knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry.

Human life may be regarded as a succession of frontispieces. The way to be satisfied is never to look back.
