- Can one be so gifted and yet so impervious to the presence of things? It seems one can. Some people are incapable of perceiving in the object of their contemplation the very thing that gives it its intrinsic life and breath, and they spend their entire lives conversing about mankind as if they were robots, and about things as though they have no soul and must be reduced to what can be said about them--all at the whim of their own subjective inspiration.
- If people could climb higher in the social hierarchy in proportion to their incompetence, i guarantee the world would not go round the way it does.
- It would be so much better if we could share our insecurity; if we could all venture inside ourselves and realize that green beans and vitamin C, however much they nurture us, cannot save lives, nor sustain our souls.
- If there's one thing I detest, it's when people transform their powerlessness or alienation into a creed.
