Moral reform is the effort to throw off sleep.

From my experience with wild apples, I can understand that there may be reason for a savage's preferring many kinds of food which the civilized man rejects. The former has the palate of an outdoor man. It takes a savage or wild taste to appreciate a wild fruit.

I do not know how to distinguish between waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are?

News Coverage!! As news expose rather than cover events.

The schools begin with what they call the elements, and where do they end?

The preachers and lecturers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves. Why, a free-spoken man, of sound lungs, cannot draw a long breath without causing your rotten institutions to come toppling down by the vacuum he makes. Your church is a baby-house made of blocks, and so of the state....The church, the state, the school, the magazine, think they are liberal and free! It is the freedom of a prison-yard.

The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us.
