"As the medieval mind blamed God for human suffering, so the modern mind blames 'the system' for the industrial blight and plague of technology."
"One parody is worth a thousand polemics."
"It is the psychic depression of decadence which has come to this place and time. It is what happens to people who ignore their artists and deny their children. It is a terminal case of involutional melancholia which comes from within and cannot be cured by T.V. or psychotherapy or anything but a creative life, which is hard to come by in a country where it doesn't pay to do anything for yourself."
"What you say is who you are. How you say it is your style."
"Technology evolves so much faster than wisdom."
