The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.
What do we want in this country, above all? People want to be happy, isn't that right?
Don't let the torrent of melancholy and drear philosophy drown our world.
So few want to be rebels any more. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.
Words are like leaves and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.
The home environment can undo a lot you try to do at school.
Give a man a few lines of verse and he thinks he's the Lord of all Creation.
