Art is the great democrat, calling forth creative genius from every sector of society, disregarding race or religion or wealth or color

The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth

But, damn. We are definitely not living in a post-racist society and I can imagine there are a lot of people out there wondering how much of a society we are living in at all.

It takes a genius to whine appealingly.

How long will it be necessary to pay City men so entirely out of proportion to what other servants of society commonly receive for performing social services not less useful or difficult?
