What a doubtful compliment this to pay me!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The American suffrage movement has been, until very recently, altogether a parlor affair, absolutely detached from the economic needs of the people.”

“As far as the filmmaking process is concerned, stars are essentially worthless—and absolutely essential.”
