—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
