Quotes

“We are born of Humankind—This our destiny:To bitter dwell in discontentWherever we may be.”
“Are our souls so much perverted?Can we not relent?Or are the stars the madman’s costFor his inborn discontent?”
“Only gods and television audiences see the pattern of human events.”
“Charging back and forth isn’t progress. Small but steady forward motion is.”
“By the time of his adolescence, he had discovered an absolute lack of involvement with the human race. He studied it, because it was the salient feature of his environment. He did not live with it. It said nothing to him that was of personal value; its motivations, morals, manners and morale did not find responsive reactions in him. And his, of course, made absolutely no impression on it.”
“The idea was to hang on to reality. It was the one crutch everybody used.”
