I didn't appreciate the moment as much as I should have while living it, but I can attribute that to my poor emotional state and hindsight.

I didn't let what I wanted to do become a made up memory that I looked back on years down the road and wished it was real.

We live in a nation where corporations are people.

A fool who has a flash of wit creates astonishment and scandal, like hack-horses setting out to gallop.

I do verily believe that a single, consolidated government would become the most corrupt government on the earth.
