Feminism is the radical concept that women are people.

A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.

"A penny for your thoughts?"<br> "A dollar for your death."

One must have a heart of stone to read the death of Little Nell without laughing.

And what is a good citizen? Simply one who never says, does or thinks anything that is unusual. Schools are maintained in order to bring this uniformity up to the highest possible point. A school is a hopper into which children are heaved while they are still young and tender; therein they are pressed into certain standard shapes and covered from head to heels with official rubber-stamps.

Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.

If you sincerely desire a _truly_ well-rounded education, you must study the extremists, the obscure and "nutty". You need the balance! Your poor brain is already being impregnated with middle-of-the-road crap, twenty-four hours a day, _no matter what_. Network TV, newspapers, radio, magazines at the supermarket... even if you never watch, read, listen, or leave your house, even if you are deaf and blind, the _telepathic pressure alone_ of the uncountable normals surrounding you will insure that you are automatically well- grounded in consensus reality.

A little learning is a dangerous thing but a lot of ignorance is just as bad.

Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
