Reason is 6/7 of treason.

Sanity, soundness, and sincerity, of which gleams and strains can still be found in the human brain under powerful microscopes, flourish only in a culture of clarification, which is now becoming harder and harder to detect with the naked eye.

The sanity of the average banquet speaker lasts about two and a half months; at the end of that time he begins to mutter to himself, and calls out in his sleep.

We all have faults, and mine is being wicked.

When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.

I don't believe the writer should know too much where he's going. If he does, he runs into old man blueprint—old man propaganda.

You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.
