“We each devise our means of escape from the intolerable.”
“How long before we devise a means of telling horoscopes with gas lamps?”
“And the idea of ourselves is our escape from the fact of what we really are.”
“We can spend our whole lives escaping from the monsters of our minds. (36)”
“Maybe we cannot escape from the destiny of the human, but we have a choice: to suffer our destiny or to enjoy our destiny.”
“science devises ever bloodier means of war until humanity’s powers of destruction overcome our powers of creation and our civilisation drives itself to extinction.”
