“People are hungering for property â€”Â for a secure, permanent and independent link with spaceship earth that ownership represents and which only ownership can protect or defend. It is humiliating to possess nothing, to own nothing, and hence to produce nothing and to count for nothing.”
“I should have known better. Pro-life arguments are now based on scientific evidence and the pro-choice arguments are not. That is a cultural, historical fact.”
“To live in a harmonious balance of commitments and pleasures is what I strive for.”
“People who think achieving success is a linear A-to-Z process, a straight shot to the top, simply aren't in touch with reality. There are very few bona fide overnight success stories. It just doesn't work that way. Success appears to happen overnight because we all see stories in newspapers and on TV about previously unknown people who have suddenly become famous. But consider a sequoia tree that has been growing for several hundred years. Just because a television crew one day decides to do a story about that tree doesn't mean it didn't exist before.”
“The loss of the religious understanding of the human conditionâ€”that Man is a fallen creature for whom virtue is necessary but never fully attainableâ€”is a loss, not a gain, in true sophistication. The secular substituteâ€”the belief in the perfection of life on earth by the endless extension of a choice of pleasuresâ€”is not merely callow by comparison but much less realistic in its understanding of human nature.”

“Every syllable that can be struck out is pure profit, and every page that can be economised is a five-per-cent dividend. Nature rebels against this rule; the flesh is weak, and shrinks from the scissors; I groan in retrospect over the weak.”
“I am not just a celebrity, I'm a human-rights advocate for the last 20 years.”
“There is only one way to be happy by means of the heart: not to have one.”
