“Logic is one thing and commonsense another.”

“Perfume: any smell that is used to drown a worse one.”

“A pessimist is a man who has been compelled to live with an optimist.”

“I want my children - I want Malia and Sasha - to understand that they've got responsibilities beyond just what they themselves have done.

“Keep out of Chancery. It's being ground to bits in a slow mill; it's being roasted at a slow fire; it's being stung to death by single bees; it's being drowned by drops; it's going mad by grains.”

“Hitherto, every form of society has been based ... on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes.”

“For something that is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way or a definite path; but not for anything that is moving and living.”

“Always eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or bed- no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters in your skull.”
