“It was the words descended into Hades
That seemed too pagan to our liberal youth.
You know they suffered from a general onslaught.
And well, if they werent true why keep right on
Saying them like the heathen? We could drop them.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
