Don't you think people often say other people are tough when they do not know how to cheat them?

I am suspicious of guilt in myself and in other people; it is usually a way of not thinking, or of announcing one's own fine sensibilities the better to be rid of them fast.

Rebels seldom make good revolutionaries, because organized action, even union with other people, is not possible for them.

I wanted to see what was there for me once, what is there for me now.

Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth.

You are what you are. It is my opinion that trouble in the world comes from people who do not know what they are, and pretend to be something they're not.

Truth made you a traitor as it often does in a time of scoundrels.
