“I see advertisements for active young men, as if activity were the whole of a young man’s capital.

What a doubtful compliment this to pay me!”

“Since people no longer attend church, theater remains as the only public service, and literature as the only private devotion.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”

“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
