I think pushing the ideas is important. I wouldn't say it's more important than action. You can't really separate the two.

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.

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

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.

Grown people know that they do not always know the way of things, and even if they think they know, they do not know where and how they got the proof.

What I am interested in, what I write and care about, exists in the slow lane, somewhere between hand-ploughed fields and a pint of real ale.

You may not have saved a lot of money in your life but if you have saved a lot of heartaches for other folks you are a pretty rich man.

If you get into a customer service fight with a hooker, even if you're in the right, you're in the wrong.

I do what I do because my favorite thing is to learn.

For myself I make no secret, I look forward with eager desire to seeing the matchless beauty of Christ's body in the heavenly light.

Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

Dedicate yourself to expressing your best.

Learn from other people's mistakes. Life is too short to make them all yourself.

Saying women aren't funny is now like saying Asians can't drive or saying black people have bad credit. It's just really, like, so obsolete.
