More quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
My opinion, my conviction, gains immensely in strength and sureness the minute a second mind as adopted it.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Sex is the mysticism of materialism and the only possible religion in a materialistic society.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The genius of Man in our time has gone into jet-propulsion, atom-splitting, penicillin-curing, etc. There is none left over for works of imagination of spiritual insight or mystical enlightenment.
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
If God is dead, somebody is going to have to take his place. It will be megalomania or erotomania, the drive for power or the drive for pleasure, the clenched fist or the phallus, Hitler or Hugh Hefner.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Surely the glory of journalism is its transience.
Malcolm Muggeridge
He was not only a bore he bored for England.
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
The most terrible thing about materialism, even more terrible than its proneness to violence, is its boredom, from which sex alcohol, drugs, all devices for putting out the accusing light of reason and suppressing the unrealizable aspirations of love, offer a prospect of deliverance.
Malcolm Muggeridge
What will finally destroy us is not communism or fascism, but man acting like God.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The orgasm has replaced the Cross as the focus of longing and the image of fulfillment.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The only people I've met in this world who never doubt are materialists and atheists.
Malcolm Muggeridge
In the beginning was the Lie and the Lie was made news and dwelt among us, graceless and false.
Malcolm Muggeridge
It was a somber place, haunted by old jokes and lost laughter. Life, as I discovered, holds no more wretched occupation than trying to make the English laugh.
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
It has to be admitted that we English have sex on the brain, which is a very unsatisfactory place to have it.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Politicians get their power too late, and I think that he has inherited an impossible situation in which he is ill-equipped to deal.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Animistic savages prostrating themselves before a painted stone have always seemed to me to be nearer the truth than any Einstein or Bertrand Russell.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Civilization - a heap of rubble scavenged by scrawny English Lit. vultures.
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.
