• El pueblo tiene un derecho supremo
  A hacer sus reyes, porque los reyes están hechos para ellos.

  que cuando se reasume, ya no puede ser justo.

• I love seeing somebody act real earnest and serious, like Jackie Gleason. He makes me laugh because he reflects back to me my own serious-mindedness and how ridiculous it all is. It's always easier to see somebody else in that position than yourself, and you laugh. It's like the classic slipping on the banana peel, or someone getting hit by a pie in the face. Why do those things make us laugh? Is it from relief, like: Thank God it wasn't me? Or is it something else: I'm being very serious now. I'm pontificating earnestly and solemnly about-POW! PIE IN THE FACE! The bust-up of certainty.

• We know great Nature's pow'r, Mother of things, whose vast unbounded sway From the deep centre all around extends Wide to the flaming barriers of the world. We feel her power; we strive not to repress (Vainly repress'd, or to deformity) Her lawful growth: ours be the task alone To check her rude excrescencies, to prune Her wanton overgrowth, and where she strays In uncouth shapes, to lead her gently back, With prudent hand, to form and better use.

• She who only finds her self-esteem
  In others' admiration, begs an alms;
  Depends on others for her daily food,
  And is the very servant of her slaves;
  Tho' oftentimes, in a fantastic hour,
  O'er men she may a childish pow'r exert,
  Which not ennobles but degrades her state.
