“Any honest examination of the national life proves how far we are from the standard of human freedom with which we began. The recovery of this standard demands of everyone who loves this country a hard look at himself, for the greatest achievments must begin somewhere, and they always begin with the person. If we are not capable of this examination, we may yet become one of the most distinguished and monumental failures in the history of nations.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Experience has taught me never to trust a policeman. Just when you think one’s all right, he turns legit.”
—Ben Maddow (1909–1992)
“New Jersey gives us glue.”
—Howard Dietz (1896–1983)
