Malcolm Muggeridge

Malcolm Muggeridge
The Sputnik is just to me like a firework, a rocket, a new invention.
Malcolm Muggeridge

Malcolm Muggeridge
All new news is old news happening to new people

Malcolm Muggeridge

Sex is the mysticism of a materialistic society - in the beginning was the Flesh, and the Flesh became Word... [it has] its own mysteries - this is my birth [control] pill swallow it in remembrance of me!
Malcolm Muggeridge
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.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The three most disastrous inventions of our time have been the birth control pill, the camera and nuclear weaponry. The first offers sex in terms of sterility, the second reality in terms of fantasy, and the third security in terms of destruction.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Television was not intended to make human beings vacuous, but it is an emanation of their vacuity.
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
It's a sad thing about politics that most people get power too late, in that they differ from ladies of easy virtue who get their pleasures too early.
Malcolm Muggeridge
I think that Harold MacMillan is a very intelligent man, who, as so often happens in politics, achieved supreme power too late.
Malcolm Muggeridge
It has to be admitted that we English have sex on the brain, which is a very unsatisfactory place to have it.
