If the reporter has killed our imagination with his truth, he threatens our life with his lies.

If one reads a newspaper only for information, one does not learn the truth, not even the truth about the paper. The truth is that the newspaper is not a statement of contents but the contents themselves; and more than that, it is an instigator.

I have drawn from the well of language many a thought which I do not have and which I could not put into words.

Progress celebrates victories over nature. Progress makes purses out of human skin. When people were traveling in mail coaches, the world got ahead better than it does now that salesmen fly through the air. What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way? How will the heirs of this age be taught the most basic motions that are necessary to activate the most complicated machines? Nature can rely on progress; it will avenge it for the outrage it has perpetrated on it.

Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear.

They judge lest they be judged.

Democracy means the opportunity to be everyone's slave.
