  1. Moral life is not still, it moves, dances, shakes, sings. You cannot paint a moral still life. The moment moral life freezes, it becomes immorality.
  2. The dogmatist only sees from one direction: his own.
  3. We prefer pornography to real sex because we prefer computers to real life. Pornography is sex with someone we love.
  4. At the end of 2017, I can only think one thought: ‘what next?’
  5. ‘What next’ implies dread, but it also implies humor: it is humor deployed as dread; it is the comedy of dreading the future.
  6. The earth is waiting for the fever of humanity to pass.
  7. Pessimism is a tool for authentic optimism. The pessimistic optimist is the wise man.
