• Thank God for that. You can shut them, say, 'Hold on a moment.' You play God to it. But who has ever torn himself from the claw that encloses you when you drop a seed in a TV parlour? It grows you any shape it wishes! It is an environment as real as the world. It becomes and is the truth. Books can be beaten down with reason. But with all my knowledge and scepticism, I have never been able to argue with a one-hundred-piece symphony orchestra, full colour, three dimensions, and I being in and part of those incredible parlours.

• Man is an intellectual animal, and therefore an everlasting contradiction to himself. His senses centre in himself, his ideas reach to the ends of the universe; so that he is torn in pieces between the two, without a possibility of its ever being otherwise.

• Oh! what waves of crime and bloodshed have swept like the waves of a deluge down the valley of the Rhine!

• The situation around Terri Schiavo was a deeply held conflict over what to do if someone isn't going to return to consciousness or competence. Who will decide? Even there, where we had settled legal rules, we still had disagreement. We're torn about these things.

• The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. When the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.

• Abrazando y rechazando la tradición, atados y liberados por la fe, desgarrados entre el oscurantismo y la razón, seguros de sí mismos y autocríticos, eran un caleidoscopio de fragmentos, posiciones mantenidas y abandonadas, imágenes formadas y destrozadas, judíos temerosos de Dios, judíos que renegaban de Dios, apasionados e indiferentes, héroes y villanos, que decían sí y que decían no.

• No tengo fe, así es como me siento. Tengo frío y me avergüenzo tumbado desnudo en el suelo. Las ilusiones nunca se convierten en algo real. Estoy bien despierto y puedo ver que el cielo perfecto está rasgado. Llegas un poco tarde, ya estoy desgarrado.

• Our society offers little in the way of reeducation for those who have been torn away from their traditional culture and suddenly exposed to all the blandishments of mass culture-even the churches which follow the hillbillies to the city often make use of the same "hard sell" that the advertisers and politicians do.

• Beauty in this Iron Age must turn, From fluid living rainbow shapes to torn, And sootened fragments, ashes in an urn, On whose gray surface runes are traced by a Norn, Who hopes to wake the Future to arise, In Phoenix-fashion, and to shine with rays, To blast the sight of modern men whose dyes, Of selfishness and lust have stained our days...

• El hombre, lleno de vacío y desgarrado por la nostalgia del desierto, ha tenido que crear desde su interior una aventura, una cámara de tortura, un desierto inseguro y peligroso: este necio, este prisionero consumido por el anhelo y la desesperación, se convirtió en el inventor de la "mala conciencia".

• Since when do we let the government decide what is or isn't good for us? What the hell does Congress know about nutrition, anyway?... If the government can use force whenever something is "in our best interest" then government should force everyone to wake up at 6am every morning for calisthenics in the front yard. Fast food establishments should be torn down and replaced with bars that serve carrot juice and alfalfa sprouts, since - "it's in your best interest." This paternalistic attitude that "the government knows best" and that you are merely a helpless child is insulting and reprehensible.
