A dominant race did not lie, because it had the whip.
All middle-class novels are about the trials of three, all upper-class novels about mass fornication, all revolutionary novels about a bad man turned good by a tractor.
Radicalism is the opium of the middle class.
Life is nothing but rags and tags and filthy rags at that.
Everyone likes the obscene; that is real life.
Women have been brought up much like slaves, that is, to lie.
