I don't think it could be a coincidence that the more technological a society is, the less it connects people.

Everyone can feel the nothingness, the void, just beneath the surface of everyday routines and securities.

The more the society becomes a technological society, the less it has to hold itself together.

We are lost, but other animals point to the right road. They are the right road.

We live in an era with no real sense of community or connection to nature.

The liberty that remains to us is essentially the freedom to choose among brands A, B, and C.

There's a hollowness to civilized life. It doesn't appeal to people, and some people react with extreme violence.

Mass society has displaced real community, where people function together and account for their own lives.

"The people" aren't running anything. That's why technology has replaced politics as the source of ideology. The ideological claims are hollow and absurd, and nobody believes them anymore.

If you have a problem in mass society, you call the cops. The experts. You no longer have any operative connection with yourself or others, or with a functioning community.

We don't need more stupid ideas.

Let us here observe, that a religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things, never has power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation.

The study of doctrine and the teaching of doctrine will change behavior more than the study of behavior will change behavior.

Complete happiness lies in obedience to Allāh, and anguish is found in disobedience to Him and opposition against Him.

To me, Romney is 'Our Idiot Brother', and Obama is 'The King's Speech'. You can spend all the money in the world. If you've got a bad product, it doesn't matter.

Nature is not a partisan, but out of her ample treasue house she produces children in infinite variety, of which she is equally the mother, and disowns none of them.

Buddy of mine once told me that he'd rather fly a jet than kiss his girl. Said it gave him more of a kick.

I don't kiss on the first date. My friends always make fun of me for that! But I will hold hands.

For some, it was easier to take the leap from the leafless tree and dance on nothing until dancing was done.

Most of the films that I've written, made in my life, I've written. Not all, but most I would say.

Everybody has a different definition of the good side.
