“Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.”

“Do not gain basely; base gain is equal to ruin.”

—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party.”
