Tranquilizers to overcome angst, pep pills to wake us up, life pills to ensure blissful sterility. I will lift up my ears unto the pills whence cometh my help.

I beg you to believe that life is not a process, it's a drama
Malcolm Muggeridge
What will finally destroy us is not communism or fascism, but man acting like God.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Sex on the brain is the wrong place to have it.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The English have this extraordianry respect for longevity. The best example of this was Queen Victoria, a most unpleasant woman who achieved a sort of public affection simply by living to be an enormous age.
Malcolm Muggeridge
I doubt whether the Revolution has, in essentials, changed Russia at all. Reading Gogol, or Dostoevsky for that matter, one realizes how completely the Soviet regime has fallen back on to, and perhaps invigorated, the old Russia. Certainly there is much more of Gogol and Dostoievsky in the regime than there is of Marx.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Sex is the mysticism of materialism.

Malcolm Muggeridge
The media have, indeed, provided the Devil with perhaps the greatest opportunity accorded him since Adam and Eve were turned out of the Garden of Eden.
Malcolm Muggeridge
In the 19th century, the English were loathed. Every memoir that you read of that period, indicates the loathing that everybody felt for the English, the only difference between the English and Americans, in this respect, is the English rather liked being loathed and the Americans apparently dislike it intensely.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The price you pay for being powerful and being rich is to be hated.
Malcolm Muggeridge
It is simply that America is very rich and very powerful and generally speaking everybody hates the rich and the powerful.
Malcolm Muggeridge
In politics, as in womanizing, failure is decisive. It sheds its retrospective gloom on earlier endeavor which at the time seemed full of promise.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Like a prisoner awaiting his release, like a schoolboy when the end of term is near, like a migrant bird ready to fly south ... I long to be gone.
Malcolm Muggeridge
History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The trouble with kingdoms of heaven on earth is that they're liable to come to pass, and then their fraudulence is apparent for all to see. We need a kingdom of heaven in Heaven, if only because it can't be realized.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Humor is practically the only thing about which the English are utterly serious.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The Sputnik is just to me like a firework, a rocket, a new invention.
Malcolm Muggeridge
I think that the essence of a free and civilized society is that everything in it should be subject to criticism, that all forms of authority, should be treated with a certain reservation.
