What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.

When one gets in bed with government one must expect the diseases it spreads.

Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go.
