“The biggest evildoers in the world, the ones who do what’s not right, are the ones who have all the power, and that’s what makes it right. It’s right not ’cause you say so, or I say, or even if the Lord on high says so. It’s right ’cause them what’s got the money and the power, they say it’s right, and that makes it right even if it’s dead wrong. Dead wrong.”

“I believe in aristocracy. . . — if that is the right word, and if a democrat may use it. Not an aristocracy of power, based upon rank and influence, but an aristocracy of the sensitive, the considerate and the plucky.

They represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory of our queer race over cruelty and chaos.”
