—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“Mothers easily become jealous of their sons’ friends when they are particularly successful. As a rule a mother loves herself in her son more than she does the son himself.”

“Democracy don’t rule the world,
You’d better get that in your head;
This world is ruled by violence
But I guess that’s better left unsaid.”
