“When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“Honesty's the best policy.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“All colors and blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies. It's a breed — selected out by accident. And so we're overbrave and overfearful — we're kind and cruel as children. We're overfriendly and at the same time frightened of strangers. We boast and are impressed. We're oversentimental and realistic. We are mundane and materialistic — and do you know of any other nation that acts for ideals? We eat too much. We have no taste, no sense of proportion. We throw our energy about like waste. In the old lands they say of us that we go from barbarism to decadence without an intervening culture.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck““A prince, therefore, ought always to take counsel.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli““Just because you’re right, I don’t have to be wrong.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson
