• Lo que despierta la indignación del satírico honesto no es, a menos que se trate de un mojigato, el hecho de que las personas en posiciones de poder o influencia se comporten como idiotas, o incluso que se comporten mal. Es que conspiran con éxito para imponer al público una imagen de sí mismos tan sagaz, honesta y bienintencionada.

• Evidently there are plenty of people in journalism who have neither got what they liked nor quite grown to like what they get. They write pieces they do not much enjoy writing, for papers they totally despise, and the sad process ends by ruining their style and disintegrating their personality, two developments which in a writer cannot be separate, since his personality and style must progress or deteriorate together, like a married couple in a country where death is the only permissible divorce.

• Una buena razón para la popularidad del "reduccionismo" entre los puestos filosóficos avanzados del establishment occidental es que puede ser, y es, utilizado como un dispositivo para tratar de tomar el viento, por así decirlo, fuera de las velas del marxismo. . . . En esencia, el reduccionismo es una especie de caricatura antimarxista del determinismo marxista. Es lo que los antimarxistas pretenden que es el determinismo marxista.
