“Any society is controlled by a web of feedback control mechanisms, from the private, then public opinion of colleagues to police rapid-response teams, all of which limits and guides the actions of the society's members. A few years of exotic living spent free of such controls are usually sufficient for personal character quirks and obsessions, of whatever kind, to develop to levels that would be deemed pathological on one's home ground.”

“Ours is a time of uneasiness and indifference—not yet formulated in such ways as to permit the work of reason and the play of sensibility. Instead of troubles—defined in terms of values and threats—there is often the misery of vague uneasiness; instead of explicit issues there is often merely the beat feeling that all is somehow not right. Neither the values threatened nor whatever threatens them has been stated; in short, they have not been carried to the point of decision. Much less have they been formulated as problems of social science.”

“It's been more than thousands of years and we're still grappling with common issues and fighting for our identity, beliefs, freedom, food and expression. Nobody seeks redemption. No one wants peace. If that had not been so we wouldn't have the arms and ammunitions factory as the world's largest industry in the world. It is like we are hopping from one delusion to another and the endless cycle of multiple human cravings. Wise is he who fixes his basic needs very naturally and is idle left alone. One who wants nothings. For only he can think and look for what he really wants.”
