Somewhere between the Angels and the French lies the rest of humanity.

When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom — freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse.

Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.

We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves.

When hopes and dreams are loose in the streets, it is well for the timid to lock doors, shutter windows and lie low until the wrath has passed.
