“One good reason for the popularity of “reductionism” among the philosophical outposts of the Western Establishment is that it can be, and is, used as a device for trying to take the wind, so to speak, out of the sails of Marxism....

—Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)

“Hawkins: The will is not exactly in proper legal phraseology. Richard: No: my father died without the consolations of the law.”
