“Fundamentalism is dictatorship of the mind”
“A hurt body and mind aren't just like a dictatorship; they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion.”
“Deep in the fundamental heart of mind and Universe there is a reason.”
“Dictatorship and authentic literature are incompatible... The writer is the natural enemy of dictatorship.”
“See that the mind is honest, first; the rest may follow or not as God wills. [That] the fundamental treason to the mind ... is the one fundamental treason which the scholar's mind must not allow is the bond uniting all the Oxford people in the last resort.”
“One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.”
