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

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.

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.

We don't need more stupid ideas.

For you not to waste or spend your life, you must first begin to see time and life correctly.

To feel is to go to the places you were.

It's a misconception that Beauty is in the Eyes of beholder. In my view, Beauty must be in the Heart of beholder for her true appreciation.

An obsession with control generally seems to reflect a fear of uncertainty.

It is diversity that makes any natural system robust, and diversity that stabilizes culture against the eccentricity and arrogance that have so often called themselves reason and science.

I've lived in a flat in Westminster in London for over 20 years; and I also have a house in the country, down in Somerset, so I have the best of both worlds.

If given a choice, I would have certainly selected to be what I am: one of the oppressed instead of one of the oppressors.

I want to see how life can triumph.

I love people like Kate Bush and Stevie Nicks and David Bowie - people that project themselves as characters and that contextualizes the music.

My eyes close. I am here and not here. A waking nap? A flight to the end of the galaxy and perhaps a couple of billion light-years beyond?
