Revelation can be more perilous than Revolution.

Nothing is more exhilarating than philistine vulgarity.

There is nothing in the world that I loathe more than group activity, that communal bath where the hairy and slippery mix in a multiplication of mediocrity.

It is hard, I submit, to loathe bloodshed, including war, more than I do, but it is still harder to exceed my loathing of the very nature of totalitarian states in which massacre is only an administrative detail.

The more gifted and talkative one's characters are, the greater the chances of their resembling the author in tone or tint of mind.

It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
