  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    True until tomorrow is good enough for me.
  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    Pulling together is the aim of despotism and tyranny. Free men pull in all kinds of directions
  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    There are some thoughts too dreadful to think
  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    Character assassination. What a wonderful idea. Ordinary assassination only works once, but this one works every day
  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    Apparently, they say, a lie can run around the world before the truth has got its boots on
  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    Truth was what he told. Honesty was sometimes not the same thing.
  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    “He’s a policeman. The truth usually confuses them. They don’t often hear it.”
  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    The brain works fast when it thinks it is about to be cut in half.
  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    People like to be told what they already know. Remember that. They get uncomfortable when you tell them new things. New things . . . well, new things aren’t what they expect. They like to know that, say, a dog will bite a man. That is what dogs do. They don’t want to know that a man bites a dog, because the world is not supposed to happen like that. In short, what people think they want is news, but what they really crave is olds.
  • Nichol John Mabalehas quoted4 years ago
    He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where “traditional values” meant “hang someone.”
