—Calvin Trillin (b. 1940)

“A modern democracy is a tyranny whose borders are undefined; one discovers how far one can go only by traveling in a straight line until one is stopped.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

“The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it—especially in art.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
