“Combativeness was, I suppose, the dominant trait in my grandmother’s nature.

Her piety was an act of war against Protestant ascendancy. ...The teachings of the Church did not interest her, except as they were a rebuke to others ...”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“There is always a certain noise in applause: even in the applause we give ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The Republican form of government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature—a type nowhere at present existing.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
