There are a lot of myths which make the human race cruel and barbarous and unkind. Good and Evil, Sin and Crime, Free Will and the like delusions made to excuse God for damning men and to excuse men for crucifying each other.

Criminal cases receive the attention of the press. The cruel and disagreeable things of life are more apt to get the newspaper space than the pleasant ones. It must be that most people enjoy hearing of and reading about the troubles of others. Perhaps men unconsciously feel that they rise in the general level as others go down.

I am sure of very little, and I shouldn't be surprised if those things were wrong.

The truth is that brains have little to do with either the making or accumulating of money.

History repeats itself. That's one of the things wrong with history.

Religious doctrines do not and clearly cannot be adopted as the criminal code of a state.

The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.
