"Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable."
"Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that you'll be happy when you get to work some day. Believing that this year will be better than last year. Believing that spring will bring relief. Believing that your luck will change if only this letter arrives. Believing that happiness will come with a new job. Believing that when you move to the next town it will all be better."
"The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust."
"Fear is the parent of cruelty."
