But pride always means enmity -- it is enmity. and not only enmity between man and man, but enmity to god.

Friedrich engels once said: "bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism." what does "regression into barbarism" mean to our lofty european civilization? until now, we have all probably read and repeated these words thoughtlessly, without suspecting their fearsome seriousness. a look around us at this moment shows what the regression of bourgeois society into barbarism means. this world war is a regression into barbarism. the triumph of imperialism leads to the annihilation of civilization.

I hope that no one present will suspect me of offering my personal criticism of the western system to present socialism as an alternative. having experienced applied socialism in a country where the alternative has been realized, i certainly will not speak for it. the well-known soviet mathematician shafarevich, a member of the soviet academy of science, has written a brilliant book under the title socialism; it is a profound analysis showing that socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death.

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.

When i was a kid i think the thing i remembered most about the exorcist was linda blair being possessed by the devil, and how scary that was. it had a lot of parallels for me because the movie was challenging different ideas about faith and it was looking at religion in a darker way. growing up i was afraid of being possessed by the devil, as an adult i'm afraid of being possessed by the world, by ignorance, and not holding on to my beliefs and what i feel strongly about.

The trouble is with socialism, which resembles a form of mental illness more than it does a philosophy. socialists get bees in their bonnets. and because they chronically lack any critical faculty to examine and evaluate their ideas, and because they are pathologically unwilling to consider the opinions of others, and most of all, because socialism is a mindset that regards the individual and his rights as insignificant, compared to whatever the socialist believes the group needs, terrible, terrible things happen when socialists acquire power.

To be a good writer, you not only have to write a great deal but you have to care. you do not have to have a complicated moral philosophy. but a writer always tries, i think, to be a part of a solution, to understand a little about life and to pass this on.

We are great mysteries. no matter what we imagine we may know, even for all the facts we might gather, we don't know each other. never do, probably never will. our reputations depend on the opinions of the ill informed. we all have better moments than anybody ever knows, and so do all the others. we are, each one of us, books that are read by critics who only glanced at the chapter headings and the jacket flap. each one of us is a secret, and on that basis we ought to treat each other with the deepest respect.

As i look back on it now, it's obvious that studying history and philosophy was much better preparation for the stock market than, say, studying statistics.
Philosophy Preparation Looks
He who expects from a great name in politics, in philosophy, in art, equal greatness in other things, is little versed in human nature. our strength lies in our weakness. the learned in books are ignorant of the world. he who is ignorant of books is often well acquainted with other things; for life is of the same length in the learned and unlearned; the mind cannot be idle; if it is not taken up with one thing, it attends to another through choice or necessity; and the degree of previous capacity in one class or another is a mere lottery.
