I'm plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie.

Oh, law and order! I often think it is that that is at the bottom of all the misery in the world.

To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.

It's such sport with these heroes of finance: they are like beads on a string — when one slips off, all the rest follow.

One should never put on one's best trousers to go out to fight for freedom.

Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing

Was the majority right when they stood by while Jesus was crucified? Was the majority right when they refused to believe that the earth moved around the sun and let Galileo be driven to his knees like a dog? It takes fifty years for the majority to be right. The majority is never right until it does right.
