When the storm is over and night falls and the moon is out in all its glory and all you're left with is the rhythm of the sea, of the waves, you know what God intended for the human race, you know what paradise is.

Most of the press is in league with government, or with the status quo.

Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost.

Don't forget the earth's about five thousand million years old, at least. Who can afford to live in the past?

One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.
