"Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong."

"No matter how happily a woman may be married, it always pleases her to discover that there is a nice man who wishes that she were not."

"Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies."

"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
