Liberty Is The Most Jealous And Exacting

The Purpose Of Man Is Like The Purpose Of A Pollywog - To Wiggle Along As Far As He Can Without Dying; Or, To Hang To Life Until Death Takes Him.

Every Instinct That Is Found In Any Man Is In All Men. The Strength Of The Emotion May Not Be So Overpowering, The Barriers Against Possession Not So Insurmountable, The Urge To Accomplish The Desire Less Keen. With Some, Inhibitions And Urges May Be Neutralized By Other Tendencies. But With Every Being The Primal Emotions Are There. All Men Have An Emotion To Kill; When They Strongly Dislike Some One They Involuntarily Wish He Was Dead. I Have Never Killed Any One, But I Have Read Some Obituary Notices With Great Satisfaction.

There Are A Lot Of Myths Which Make The Human Race Cruel And Barbarous And Unkind. Good And Evil, Sin And Crime, Free Will And The Like Delusions Made To Excuse God For Damning Men And To Excuse Men For Crucifying Each Other.

The Really Intelligent Are As Abnormal As The Defective. The Great Masses Of Men Are Rather Mediocre, And Those Above And Below Are Exceptions.
