Society is an interweaving and interworking of mental selves. I imagine your mind and especially what your mind thinks about my mind and what my mind thinks about what your mind thinks about my mind. I dress my mind before you and expect that you will dress yours before mine. Whoever cannot or will not perform these feats is not properly in the game.

No matter what a man does, he is not fully sane or human unless there is a spirit of freedom in him, a soul unconfined by purpose and larger than the practicable world.

Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.

Could anything be more indicative of a slight but general insanity than the aspect of the crowd on the streets of Chicago?

A cat cares for you only as a source of food, security and a place in the sun.
