Technology... the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.

Time does not change us. It just unfolds us.

We asked for workers. We got people instead.

It's precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.

A joke is a good camouflage. Next best comes sentiment... But the best camouflage of all - in my opinion - is the plain and simple truth. Because nobody ever believes it.

You can put anything into words, except your own life.

When we travel, we are like a film at the moment of exposure; it is memory that will develop it.

We live in an age of reproduction. Most of what makes up our personal picture of the world we have never seen with our own eyes--or rather, we've seen it with our own eyes, but not on the spot: our knowledge comes to us from a distance, we are televiewers, telehearers, teleknowers.

If you criticize what you’re doing too early you’ll never write the first line.

Our guilt has its uses. It justifies much in the lives of others.

The demand that we love our neighbor as ourselves contains as an axiom the demand that we shall love ourselves, shall accept ourselves as we were created.
