The intellect is a very nice whirligig toy, but how people take it seriously is more than I can understand.

No picture is made to endure nor to live with but it is made to sell and sell quickly with usura, sin against nature, is thy bread ever more of stale rags is thy bread dry as paper.

America, my country, is almost a continent and hardly yet a nation.

If I could believe the Quakers banned music because church music is so damn bad, I should view them with approval.

The only chance for victory over the brainwash is the right of every man to have his ideas judged one at a time. You never get clarity as long as you have these packaged words, as long as a word is used by twenty-five people in twenty-five different ways. That seems to me to be the first fight, if there is going to be any intellect left.

Use no word that under stress of emotion you could not actually say.
