 We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy. |
| We live at the edge of the miraculous. |
| We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets - we remember only. |
| We should read to give our souls a chance to luxuriate. |
| What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their ability to act according to their beliefs |
| What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before?
