“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.”
—Clarissa Graves (1892–1985?)
