“Everyone's quick to blame the alien”
Aeschylus
“The number one problem in our world is alienation, rich versus poor, black versus white, labor versus management, conservative versus liberal, East versus West . . . But Christ came to bring about reconciliation and peace.”
Billy Graham
“Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.”
Will Rogers
“Alienation as our present destiny is achieved only by outrageous violence perpetrated by human beings on human beings.”
R. D. Laing
“In the 19th century inhumanity meant cruelty; in the 20th century it means schizoid self-alienation.”
Erich Fromm
“By alienation is meant a mode of experience in which the person experiences himself as an alien. He has become, one might say, estranged from himself. He does not experience himself as the center of his world, as the creator of his own acts, but his acts and their consequences have become his masters, whom he obeys, or whom he may even worship. The alienated person is out of touch with himself as he is out of touch with any other person. He, like the others, is experienced as things are experienced; with the senses and with common sense, but at the same time without being related to oneself and to the world outside positively.”
“If Alien was my friend, I'd like to be with him when he went to the dentist. When they started drilling, he'd probably go nuts and start eating everybody. That Alien!”
Jack Handy
