Quotes
- “Thus human culture has been as much a product of the process of natural selection as the human species. We are not merely clockwork oranges, the clockwork itself, the social programming which determines our “repertoires of behavior,” how we respond to the world around us, is itself the product of a blind deterministic process.”
- “The carrot is mightier than the stick.”
- “To become aware of a controlling process is to transcend the determinism of that process.”
- “"The saddest day of your life isn't when you decide to sell out. The saddest day of your life is when you decide to sell out and nobody wants to buy."”
- “Any attempt at willful ignorance would now be futile or worse; the only talisman against excessive knowledge that might have puissance would be more knowledge.”
- “Even now, I cannot decide whether I was foolish dupe or noble and tragic lover. Or whether the two are one and the same.”
