Intelligence is not to make no mistakes, but quickly to see how to make them good. - Bertolt Brecht

What if they gave a war and no one came? Then the war will come to you.

The headlong stream is termed violent
But the river bed hemming it in is
Termed violent by no one.

My business is too difficult. My business is trying to arouse human pity. There are few things that'll move people to pity, a few, but the trouble is when they've been used several times, they no longer work. So it happens, for instance, that a man who sees another man on the street corner with only a stump for an arm will be so shocked the first time that he'll give him sixpence. But the second time it'll only be a threepenny bit. And if he sees him a third time, he'll hand him over cold-bloodedly to the police.
