We must make an idol of our fear, and that idol we shall call god.

Vi måste göra oss ett beläte av vår rädsla och det belätet ska vi kalla för Gud.

Another quote from the 1950s

But then they danced down the street like dingle-dodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everbody goes "Awww!"
