Josephine Winslow Johnson
“But only in mad people fear goes on constant night and day, wearing one ditch in the mind that all thoughts must travel in.”
Josephine Winslow Johnson, Now in November

H.L. Davis
“That's the good thing about it. Nothing counts except what's goin' on around you.”
H.L. Davis, Honey in the Horn

Upton Sinclair
“They wish to build a new and better world, and I would be glad if they could succeed, and if I saw any hope of success I would join them. I ask for their plans, and they offer me vague dreams, in which as a man of affairs, I see no practicality. Is is like the the end of Das Rheingold: there is Valhalla, very beautiful, but only a rainbow bridge on which to get to it, and while the gods ma be able to walk on a rainbow, my investors and working people cannot.”
Upton Sinclair, Dragon's Teeth I

Edward Rutherfurd
“Always remember this, Henri. Men trade for profit. They are driven by greed. But debt is about fear, and fear is stronger than greed. The true power, the weapon that defeats all others, is debt. Fools search for gold. The wise man studies debt. That is the key to all business.”
Edward Rutherfurd, London

Upton Sinclair
“Hitler was calling upon Almighty God to give him courage and strength to save the German people and right the wrongs of Versailles...and then to settle down and govern the county in the interest of those millions of oppressed "little people" for whom he spoke so eloquently.”
Upton Sinclair, Dragon's Teeth I
