“What cannot stand must fall; and the measure of our sincerity and therefore of the respect of men, is the amount of health and wealth we will hazard in the defence of our right. An old farmer, my neighbor across the fence, when I ask him if he is not going to town-meeting, says: No, t is no use balloting, for it will not stay; but what you do with the gun will stay so.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Alicia Huberman: Look, Ill make it easy for you. The time has come when you must tell me that you have a wife and two adorable children, and this madness between us cant go on any longer.
T.R. Devlin: I bet youve heard that line often enough.
Alicia: Right below the belt every time. Oh that isnt fair, Dev.
Devlin: Skip it. We have other things to talk about. We have a job.”
—Ben Hecht (18931964)
