"The Darwinian concept of the survival of the fittest has been substituted by a philosophy of survival of the slickest."

"According to the ethic of midnight, the cardinal sin is to be caught and the cardinal virtue is to get by. It is alright to lie, but one must lie with real finesse. It is alright to steal, if one is so dignified that, if caught, the charge becomes embezzlement, not robbery. It is permissible even to hate, if one so dresses his hating in the garments of love that hating appears to be loving."
