    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Sebastian. He is drunk now. Where had he wine?

The scandals of their politics: not so much that men in high places lie, only that they do so with such indifference, so endlessly, still expecting to be believed. We are accustomed to the contempt inherent in the political lie.”
