Ethics and equity and the principles of justice do not change with the calendar.

There is no such thing as liberty. You only change one sort of domination for another. All we can do is to choose our master.

Be still when you have nothing to say when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.

Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.

Death is the only pure, beautiful conclusion of a great passion.
