As people get their opinions so largely from the newspapers they read, the corruption of the schools would not matter so much if the Press were free. But the Press is not free. As it costs at least a quarter of a million of money to establish a daily newspaper in London, the newspapers are owned by rich men. And they depend on the advertisements of other rich men. Editors and journalists who express opinions in print that are opposed to the interests of the rich are dismissed and replaced by subservient ones.

Our laws make law impossible; our liberties destroy all freedom; our property is organized robbery; our morality an impudent hypocrisy; our wisdom is administered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes; our power wielded by cowards and weaklings; and our honour false in all its points. I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons

You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.

The man who has never made a mistake will never make anything else.

Our prejudices are so deeply rooted that we never think of them as prejudices but call them common sense.

We want a few mad people now. See where the sane ones have landed us!

In an ugly and unhappy world the richest man can purchase nothing but ugliness and unhappiness.
