“True originality consists not in a new manner, but in a new vision”. –Edith Wharton

“The Bill of Rights was not written to protect governments from trouble. It was written precisely to give the people the constitutional means to cause trouble for governments they no longer trusted”. –Henry Steele Commager

William Saroyan

“I care so much about everything that I care about nothing”. –William Saroyan

William Arthur Ward

“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails”. –William Arthur Ward

John Updike

“Like water, blood must run or grow scum”. –John Updike

Theodore Dreiser

“If I were to personally define religion, I would say that it is a bandage that man has invented to protect a soul made bloody by circumstance”. –Theodore Dreiser

Julian Jaynes

“What is the meaning of life? This question has no answer except in the history of how it came to be asked. There is no answer because words have meaning, not life or persons or the universe itself”. –Julian Jaynes

Nathaniel Hawthorne

“Long, long may it be, ere he comes again! His hour is one of darkness, and adversity, and peril”. –Nathaniel Hawthorne

Carroll Quigley

“We have now done what the Romans did when they started to commit suicide. We have shifted from an army of citizens to an army of mercenaries”. –Carroll Quigley

Bill Mauldin

“Certainly none of the advances made in civilization has been due to counterrevolutionaries and advocates of the status quo”. –Bill Mauldin

Charlton Ogburn

“Circumstances are seldom right… You must always do with less than you need in a situation vastly different from what you would have chosen as appropriate for your special endowments”. –Charlton Ogburn

Walter Lippmann

“A State is absolute in the sense which I have in mind when it claims the right to a monopoly of all the force within the community, to make war, to make peace, to conscript life, to tax, to establish and dis-establish property, to define crime, to punish disobedience, to control education, to supervise the family, to regulate habits, and to censor opinions. The modern State claims all of these powers, and, in the matter of theory, there is no real difference in the size of the claim between communists, fascists, and democrats”. –Walter Lippmann

Roger Zelazny

“The universe did not invent justice. Man did. Unfortunately, man must reside in the universe”. –Roger Zelazny

“Many are called but few get up”. –Oliver Herford

Jack London

“I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot… The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time”. –Jack London
