Every instinct that is found in any man is in all men. The strength of the emotion may not be so overpowering, the barriers against possession not so insurmountable, the urge to accomplish the desire less keen. With some, inhibitions and urges may be neutralized by other tendencies. But with every being the primal emotions are there.

Everybody is a potential murderer. I've never killed anyone, but I frequently get satisfaction reading the obituary notices.

I go to a better tailor than any of you and pay more for my clothes. The only difference is that you probably don't sleep in yours.

I am always suspicious of righteous indignation. Nothing is more cruel than righteous indignation.
