 Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand. |
| Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding. |
| Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art. |
| Secrets of the Federal Reserve. |
| Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn't worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value. |
