People do not believe lies because they have to, but because they want to.

Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream.

I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.

History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that.

Bad humor is an evasion of reality; good humor is an acceptance of it.

The trouble with kingdoms of heaven on earth is that they're liable to come to pass, and then their fraudulence is apparent for all to see. We need a kingdom of heaven in Heaven, if only because it can't be realized.

Few men of action have been able to make a graceful exit at the appropriate time.

This horror of pain is a rather low instinct and... if I think of human beings I've known and of my own life, such as it is, I can't recall any case of pain which didn't, on the whole, enrich life.

The pursuit of happiness, which American citizens are obliged to undertake, tends to involve them in trying to perpetuate the moods, tastes and aptitudes of youth.

My opinion, my conviction, gains immensely in strength and sureness the minute a second mind as adopted it.

It was a somber place, haunted by old jokes and lost laughter. Life, as I discovered, holds no more wretched occupation than trying to make the English laugh.

One of the stupidest theories of Western life.

I will lift mine eyes unto the pills. Almost everyone takes them, from the humble aspirin to the multi-colored, king-sized three deckers, which put you to sleep, wake you up, stimulate and soothe you all in one. It is an age of pills.

Television was not intended to make human beings vacuous, but it is an emanation of their vacuity.

In retrospect, all these exercises in self-gratification seem pure fantasy, what Pascal called, licking the earth.

Travel, of course, narrows the mind.

Education, the great mumbo jumbo and fraud of the age purports to equip us to live and is prescribed as a universal remedy for everything from juvenile delinquency to premature senility.

There is no such things as darkness, only a failure to see.

Malcolm Muggeridge 181 quotes

If God is dead, somebody is go...

If God is dead, somebody is going to have to take his place. It will be megalomania or erotomania, the drive for power or the drive for pleasure, the clenched fist or the phallus, Hitler or Hugh Hefner.

Malcolm Muggeridge 181 quotes

This life in us; however low i...

This life in us; however low it flickers or fiercely burns, is still a divine flame which no man dare presume to put out, be his motives never so humane and enlightened; To suppose otherwise is to countenance a death-wish; Either life is always and in all circumstances sacred, or intrinsically of no account; it is inconceivable that it should be in some cases the one, and in some the other.
