• They [intellectuals] coined most of the slogans that guided the butcheries of Bolshevism, Fascism, and Nazism. Intellectuals extolling the delights of murder, writers advocating censorship, philosophers judging the merits of thinkers and authors, not according to the value of their contributions but according to their achievements on battlefields, are the spiritual leaders of our age of perpetual strife.

• I think people who are unhappy are always proud of being so, and therefore do not like to be told that there is nothing grand about their unhappiness.

When you tell people that happiness is a simple matter, they get annoyed with you.
