"What a peculiar civilisation this was: inordinately rich, yet inclined to accrue its wealth through the sale of some astonishingly small and only distantly meaningful things, a civilisation torn and unable sensibly to adjudicate between the worthwhile ends to which money might be put and the often morally trivial and destructive mechanisms of its generation."
"Just be yourself' is about the worst advice you can give some people."
"The materialistic view of happiness of our age starkly revealed in our understanding of the word "luxury."
"I feel that the great challenge of our time is the communication of ideas."
