“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”
― Oscar Wilde

“I heard somebody open and shut the gate to the barn lot, but I didn't look around. If I didn't look around it would not be true that somebody had opened the gate with the creaky hinges, and that is a wonderful principle for a man to get hold of... What you don't know know don't hurt you, for it ain't real. They called that Idealism in my book I had when I was in college, and after I got hold of that principle I became an Idealist... If you are an Idealist it does not matter what you do or what goes on around you because it isn't real anyway.”
― Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men

“It is not fair to be old, to put on a brown sweater.”
― William Carlos Williams

“Self-respect--the secure feeling that no one, as yet, is suspicious.”
― H.L. Mencken
