None but the weak crave to be better than. Strong men are satisfied with their own strength.
Lillian SmithThe question in crisis or ordeal is not: Are you going to be an extremist? The question is: What kind of extremist are you going to be?
Lillian SmithFor men tied fast to the absolute, bled of their differences, drained of their dreams by authoritarian leeches until nothing but pulp is left, become a massive, sick Thing whose sheer weight is used ruthlessly by ambitious men. Here is the real enemy of the people: our own selves dehumanized into the masses. And where is the David who can slay this giant?
