• I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.

• Life will not be pleasurable if we don't embrace the good and the bad sides. We can not tell the difference between pleasure and pain if we have not felt both. Experience gives us knowledge and it is left for us to decide what we need it for. Good and evil are both at our disposal and will always bow to our choices. The reason man's need is insatiable is because happiness has no limit. The more something makes us happy, the more we crave for it.
