“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”

“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something.

—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“In this country, you never pull the emergency brake, even when there is an emergency. It is imperative that the trains run on schedule.”
