Quotes

“I was born in galut [exile] and I accept—now gladly, though once in pain—the double burden and the double pleasure of my self-consciousness, the outward life of an American and the inward secret of the Jew. I walk with this sign as a frontlet between my eyes, and it is as visible to some secret others as their sign is to me.”
“That fabulous polymath Samuel Johnson maintained that no man in his right mind ever read a book through from beginning to end.”
“Religions grow out of the deepest needs of individuals sharing a common awakening, and are not created by "engineers of the soul."”
“Nihilism, then, is the end process of rationalism. It is man's self conscious will to destroy his past and control his future. It is modernity at its extreme.”
“Modern culture is defined by this extraordinary freedom to ransack the world storehouse and to engorge any and every style it comes upon.”
“It is equally clear that what an individual often wants for himself (such as an open highway) in the aggregate becomes a nightmare.”
