To hold a pen is to be at war.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.

To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.

Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
