"I only ask for information...." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“Not knowing how he lost himself, or how he recovered himself, he may never feel certain of not losing himself again.”

“Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.”

“And what about the cash, my existence's jewel?”

“I don't believe what the papers are saying They're just out to capture my dime, Exaggerating this, exaggerating that.”

“And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news-- that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.”

“We can't have, like, willy-nilly proliferation of fake news. That's crazy. You can't have more types of fake news than real news. That's allowing public deception to go unchecked. That's crazy.”

“To me it is enough to wonder at the secrets”

“If we lacked curiosity, we should do less for the good of our neighbor. But, under the name of duty or pity, curiosity steals into the home of the unhappy and the needy. Perhaps even in the famous mother-love there is a good deal of curiosity.”

“[On the metaphysical:] ... I knew in some marvelous way I had touched the hem of the unknown. And being me, I wanted to lift that hemline a little bit more.”
