We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.

America is moving forward and gaining strength. We have been tested and we have proven ourselves to be a tough resilient and resourceful nation.

We set ourselves limits but we are all strong enough to aim higher to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.

I suppose that is my central obsession. What we owe to society what we owe to ourselves.

We should like to have some towering geniuses to reveal us to ourselves in colour and fire but of course they would have to fit into the pattern of our society and be able to take orders from sound administrative types.

The 1960s were about releasing ourselves from conventional society and freeing ourselves.

How many of you have broken no laws this month? That's the kind of society I want to build. I want a guarantee - with physics and mathematics not with laws - that we can give ourselves real privacy of personal communications.

The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are this is where we came from and this is where we're going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years - the last 50 years really - has lost that. We have become rather aimless and wandering.

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

The human race's prospects of survival were considerably better when we were defenceless against tigers than they are today when we have become defenceless against ourselves.
