Will two thousand in a like situation be less likely to encroach on the rights of one thousand?

• Every man alone is sincere.
  At the entrance of a second person,
  hypocrisy begins.

  of our fellow-man by compliments,
  by gossip, by amusements, by affairs.
  We cover up our thought from him
  under a hundred folds.

• To invent out of knowledge means to produce inventions that are true. Every man should have a built-in automatic crap detector operating inside him. It also should have a manual drill and a crank handle in case the machine breaks down. If you're going to write, you have to find out what's bad for you. Part of that you learn fast, and then you learn what's good for you.
