Witty things should bloom where they grow. They're no good as cut flowers. -H. G. Wells: The Dream [So I suppose I really ought to stop right here, but I won't.--wmd] ... a man who is self-conscious about being self-conscious about being un-self-conscious. --James Thurber But he would have had answer even to that, though. Men who want you to be in the same boat they are in always do have an answer. --Max Miller: Second House from the Corner "You know the chap I mean, Smeeth," replied Sandycroft, sniffing with that queer little nose of his. "Never had his hair cut--wore a beard--looked like a spring poet in the autumn." -J. B. Priestly: Angel Pavement How far dare we go out of this room and speak our minds about the things that are happening in the world now?... We are discreet even with ourselves. Do we let out what we really think about politics now, about all this bawling patriotism, about all this clammy, stale, canting religiosity, about how such institutions as them monarchy? Although we live here in a free country! ...slavish subjection to gods, kings, leaders, heroes, bosses, mystical personifications like the People, My Country Right or Wrong, the Church, the Party, the Masses, the Proletariat. We are living--let us face the facts--in a lunatic asylum crowded with patients prevented from knowledge and afraid to go sane. "That is where my hate goes," he said. " I hate common humanity. This oafish crowd which tramples the ground whence my cloud-capped pinnacles might rise... This gaping, stinking bombing,shooting, throat-slitting, cringing brawl of the gawky, under-nourished riff-raff. Clear the earth of them!" H. G. Wells: Star begotten 10 STEFANTASY
