Species do not grow more perfect: the weaker dominate the strong, again and again-the reason being that they are the great majority, and they are also cleverer. Darwin forgot the mind (- that is English!): the weak possess more mind. ... To acquire mind, one must need mind-one loses it when one no longer needs it.

I mean, my mind is a storm, and I don't think most people would want to be me. They may think they would want to be me, but they don't.

Insubordination may only be the evidence of a strong mind.

A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.

A lot of people have pretty little heads, but it's difficult to find a pretty little mind.

Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.
