"The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little."
"The television is 'real'. It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't time to protest, 'What nonsense!'."

"You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."
"Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down."
"Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall."
"Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything."
"Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow."
