“The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“I never knew anyone yet who got up at six who did anything more useful between that time and breakfast than banging a tennis ball up against the side of the house, waiting for the more civilized members of the party to get up.”
