More quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
He was not only a bore he bored for England.
Malcolm Muggeridge
People say that the Bible is a boring book...but they don't say that about Shakespeare, because the people who teach Shakespeare are zealous for Shakespeare.
Malcolm Muggeridge
It's the circumstances of popular monarchy, the manner in which it's developed, and it is also the fault of the people who present her with this unquestioning adulation. In other words, it's their lack of a larger faith. Which makes them fasten onto, a purely earthly symbol.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Surely the glory of journalism is its transience.
Malcolm Muggeridge
I regard myself as a religious... the temper of my mind as religious, and because I regard the temper of my mind as religious, I am profoundly skeptical about any form of human authority, any form of human self-importance.
Malcolm Muggeridge
All happenings, great and small, are parables whereby God speaks. The art of life is to get the message. To see all that is offered us at the windows of the soul, and to reach out and receive what is offered, this is the art of living.
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
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.
Malcolm Muggeridge
A decrepit society shuns humor as a decrepit individual shuns drafts.
Malcolm Muggeridge
How do I know pornography depraves and corrupts? It depraves and corrupts me
Malcolm Muggeridge
Whatever is fine and permanent in human achievement has been realised through individuals courageously facing the circumstances of their being and a society is civilised to the extent to which it makes this possible. Terrorism, which aims at putting out thespiritual light, is the antithesis of civilisation.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Humor is practically the only thing about which the English are utterly serious.
Malcolm Muggeridge
I have to say that I think that Anthony Eden was probably the most disastrous Prime Minister in our history, and I am not forgetting Lord North and a few people like that.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The Sputnik is just to me like a firework, a rocket, a new invention.
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
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
Civilization - a heap of rubble scavenged by scrawny English Lit. vultures.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The orgasm has replaced the Cross as the focus of longing and the image of fulfillment.
Malcolm Muggeridge
I beg you to believe that life is not a process, it's a drama
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.
