What good is an obscenity trial except to popularize literature?

A guest is a jewel on the cushion of hospitality

I love to make a mistake. It is my only assurance that I cannot reasonably be expected to assume the responsibility of omniscience.

Man's brain, enlarged fortuitously, invented words in an ambitious attempt to learn how to think, only to have them usurped by his emotions. But we still try.

I understand the technique of eccentricity; it would be futile for a man to labor at establishing a reputation for oddity if he were ready at the slightest provocation to revert to normal action.

We are all vainer of our luck than of our merits.

The more you put in your brain, the more it will hold - if you have one.
