“What is dangerous about the far right is not that it takes religion seriously - most of us do - but rather that it condemns all other spiritual choices - the Buddhist, the Jew, the Muslim, and many others who consider themselves to be good Christians. The wall of separation between church and state is needed precisely because religion, like art, is too important a part of the human experience to be choked by the hands of censors.”
“What is dangerous about tranquillizers is that whatever peace of mind they bring is a packaged peace of mind. Where you buy a pill and buy peace of mind with it, you get conditioned to cheap solutions instead of deep ones.”

“What is dead may never die, but rises again, stronger and harder.”
“What is deadly is not the much-discussed atomic bomb as this
particular death-dealing machine. What has long since been threatening man with death, and indeed with the death of his own
nature, is the unconditional character of mere willing in the sense
of purposeful self-assertion in everything. What threatens man in
his very nature is the willed view that man, by the peaceful release,
transformation, storage, and channeling of the energies of physical
nature, could render the human condition, man's being, tolerable
for everybody and happy in all respects. But the peace of this peacefulness is merely the undisturbed continuing relentlessness of the
fury of self-assertion which is resolutely self-reliant. What threatens
man in his very nature is the view that this imposition of production can be ventured without any danger, as long as other interests
besides—such as, perhaps, the interests of a faith—retain their currency. As though it were still possible for that essential relation to
the whole of beings in which man is placed by the technological
exercise of his will to find a separate abode in some side-structure
which would offer more than a temporary escape into those selfdeceptions among which we must count also the flight to the
Greek gods! What threatens man in his very nature is the view that
technological production puts the world in order, while in fact this
ordering is precisely what levels every ordo, every rank, down to
the uniformity of production, and thus from the outset destroys
the realm from which any rank and recognition could possibly
arise.”
