All the blood is drained out of democracy - it dies - when only half the population votes.

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body.

Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life.
