“Every war results from the struggle for markets and spheres of influence, and every war is sold to the public by professional liars and totally sincere religious maniacs, as a Holy Crusade to save God and Goodness from Satan and Evil.”

“The Right's view of government and the Left's view of big business are both correct.”

“Everyone look around and see if you can spot the NARCS. They're the ones who look like hippies.”

“These ideas can be made more concrete with a parable, which I borrow from John Fowles’s wonderful novel, The Magus.”

“Most of our ancestors were not perfect ladies and gentlemen. The majority of them weren't even mammals.”

“All phenomena are real in some sense, unreal in some sense, meaningless in some sense, real and meaningless in some sense, unreal and meaningless in some sense, and real and unreal and meaningless in some sense.”

“There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.”

“The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession.”

“Christmas is the door that was ingeniously designed for walls that were not built for doors.”
