“In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for. As for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Ethnic life in the United States has become a sort of contest like baseball in which the blacks are always the Chicago Cubs.”

“There is a distinction to be drawn between true collectors and accumulators. Collectors are discriminating; accumulators act at random. The Collyer brothers, who died among the tons of newspapers and trash with which they filled every cubic foot of their house so that they could scarcely move, were a classic example of accumulators, but there are many of us whose houses are filled with all manner of things that we “can’t bear to throw away.””
—Russell Lynes (1910–1991)
