If you can’t outargue the other fellow, sometimes you can outlive him. - Robert A. Heinlein

A community where everyone is a ruthless murderer, with handy access to death-dealing devices, is a very polite community.

We white men in this country are inclined to underestimate the black man—I know I do—because we see him out of his cultural matrix. Those we know have had their own culture wrenched from them some generations back and a servile pseudo culture imposed on them by force. We forget that the black man has a culture of his own, older than ours and more solidly grounded, based on character and the power of the mind rather than the cheap, ephemeral tricks of mechanical gadgets. But it is a stern, fierce culture with no sentimental concern for the weak and the unfit, and it never quite dies out.

If Satan should ever replace God he would find it necessary to assume the attributes of Divinity.
