Who said “Without alienation, there can be no politics.”?

“Alienation as our present destiny is achieved only by outrageous violence perpetrated by human beings on human beings.”

“Although the masters make the rules for the wise men and the fools got nothing, Ma, to live up to.”

“There is only one way left to escape the alienation of present day society: to retreat ahead of it.”

“There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison; there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation.”

“The most dangerous aspect of present-day life is the dissolution of the feeling of individual responsibility. Mass solitude has done away with any difference between the internal and the external, between the intellectual and the physical.”

“I love her too, but our neuroses just don't match.”

“Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.”

“I'm the end of the line; absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.”

“That is a very good question. I don't know the answer. But can you tell me the name of a classical Greek shoemaker?”

“He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid.”

“If I have any justification for having lived it's simply, I'm nothing but faults, failures and so on, but I have tried to make a good pair of shoes. There's some value in that.”
