I have found that words that are loaded with pathos and create a seductive euphoria are apt to promote nonsense.

Believing: it means believing in our own lies. And I can say that I am grateful that I got this lesson very early.

As a child I was a great liar. Fortunately my mother liked my lies. I promised her marvelous things.

I have heard my fill of hurtful words. I think it's especially egregious when citizens like me, who point out abuses in their country, are referred to as 'do-gooders.' This is how a phrase that can be used to stop an argument dead becomes part of common usage.

Who can deny that the environment has been destroyed?

The job of a citizen is to keep his mouth open.

Today I know that all things are watching, that nothing goes unseen, that even wallpaper has a better memory than human beings.
