—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Reading about ethics is about as likely to improve one’s behavior as reading about sports is to make one into an athlete.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.”
