We all have--to put it as nicely as I can--our lower centres and our higher centres. Our lower centres act: they act with terriblepower that sometimes destroys us; but they don't talk.... Since the war the lower centres have become vocal. And the effect is that of an earthquake. For they speak truths that have never been spoken before--truths that the makers of our domestic institutions have tried to ignore.

Financiers live in a world of illusion. They count on something which they call the capital of the country, which has no existence.

It is the first duty of every man not to be poor.

Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it.

I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend... if you have one.

Our first duty, to which every other consideration should be sacrificed, is not to be poor.
