“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”

“The red-faced president took afternoon tea
With her majesty The Queen
And they watched old films flicker
Across the old palace movie screen
Crying, "What a shame!"
As she slipped in the rain
Poor dancing girl
Well, she won't dance again…”

“Man creates what he calls history as a screen to conceal the workings of the apocalypse from himself.”

“Thus man passes away; his name perishes from record and recollection; his history is as a tale that is told, and his very monument becomes a ruin.”

“Time passes. Horror does not.”

“For the youth, the indignation of most things will just surge as each birthday passes.”

“Now it was coming to an end, and it was like he was watching the last flicker of light wink out in the darkness of an endless tunnel.”

“They say big brother is watching you. But maybe big brother is watching dutch girly videos on the next screen along.”

“You still stand watch, O human star, burning without a flicker, perfect flame, bright and resourceful spirit. Each of your rays a great idea — O torch which passes from hand to hand, from age to age, world without end.”

“Remember, everything passes, even the most unspeakable horrors”
