“There has been a great gulf in psychological thought between the perception of space and objects on one hand and the perception of meaning on the other.”

“A mechanical encounter or other energy-exchange may cause tissue damage.”

“The meaning or value of a thing consists of what it affords.”

“If I sit down to write a joke about, whatever, the polluted Gulf of Mexico, it comes out mundane to me.”

“There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital experience.”

“I, not for the first time, would like to say that I never took a pro-Iraq position during the Gulf War.”
