The art of arguing is the art of living. We argue because we must, because life emends it, because, in the end, life itself is but an argument.

We are afraid. But fear confirms life and identifies the source of every successful argument - ourselves.

Nothing in the world is as fearsome as a bloody, battered opponent who will never surrender.

The function of the law is not to provide justice or to preserve freedom. The function of the law is to keep those who hold power, in power.

Love is how we feel toward those who show us that which is lovable about ourselves.

Skepticism, not cleanliness, is next to godliness. Skepticism is the father of freedom. It is like the pry that holds open the door for truth to slip in.

. . . in America, we have achieved the Orwellian prediction - enslaved, the people have been programmed to love their bondage and are left to clutch only mirage-like images of freedom, its fables and fictions. The new slaves are linked together by vast electronic chains of television that imprison not their bodies but their minds. Their desires are programmed, their tastes manipulated, their values set for them.
