Language matters because whoever controls the words controls the conversation, because whoever controls the conversation controls its outcome, because whoever frames the debate has already won it, because telling the truth has become harder and harder to achieve in an America drowning in Orwellian Newspeak.

Beware of books. They are more than innocent assemblages of paper and ink and string and glue. If they are any good, they have the spirit of the author within.

The Jews are not wrong to worship books. A real book has pheromones and sprouts grass through its cover.

Never joke with the press. Irony does not translate into newsprint.
