A child of today can detect a lie quicker than the wisest adult of two decades ago. When I want to know what is true, I ask my children.

What they do not comprehend is man's helplessness. I am weak, small, of no consequence to the universe. It does not notice me I live on unseen. But why is that bad? Isn't it that way? Whom the gods notice they destroy. Be small... and you will escape the jealousy of the great.

Life in Anaheim, California, was a commercial for itself, endlessly replayed. Nothing changed it just spread out farther and farther in the form of neon ooze. What there was always more of had been congealed into permanence long ago, as if the automatic factory that cranked out these objects had jammed in the on position.

I think that, like in my writing, reality is always a soap bubble, Silly Putty thing anyway. In the universe people are in, people put their hands through the walls, and it turns out they're living in another century entirely. I often have the feeling — and it does show up in my books — that this is all just a stage.

The Empire is the institution, the codification, of derangement it is insane and imposes its insanity on us by violence, since its nature is a violent one.

The silence of the world could not rein back it's greed. Not any longer. Not when it had virtually won.

Either I've invented a whole new logic or, ahem, I'm not playing with a full deck.

Everything is true,' he said. 'Everything anybody has ever thought.' 'Will you be all right?' 'I'll be all right,' he said, and thought, And I'm going to die. Both those are true, too.

I think great art should play a part in the ordinary man's life, don't you? It can make his existence so much richer and more meaningful.

I like her I could watch her the rest of my life. She has breasts that smile.

We are in a maze which we built, and then we fell into, now can't get out. To make the game into something real, something more than merely an intellectual exercise, we elected to lose our exceptional faculties, to reduce us an entire level. This unfortunately, includes a loss of memory.

Madness has its own dynamism. It just goes on.
