“Vaudeville could not vouch for the honesty, the integrity, or the mentality of the individuals who collectively made up the horde the medium embraced. All the human race demands of its members is that they be born. That is all vaudeville demanded. You just had to be born. You could be ignorant and be a star. You could be a moron and be wealthy. The elements that went to make up vaudeville were combed from the jungles, the four corners of the world, the intelligentsia and the subnormal.” WorldHumansMadeIndividualStarsBornRaceFourHonestyIntegrityDemandMembersElementsCornersIgnorantMediumsHuman RaceWealthyMentalityJungleMoronHordeCorners Of The WorldVaudeville Author:Fred Allen

“It has always seemed to me that the social order was implicit in the very nature of things, and required nothing more from the human spirit than care in arranging the various elements; that a people could be governed without being made thralls or libertines or victims thereby; that man was born for peace and liberty, and became miserable and cruel only through the action of insidious and oppressive laws. And I believe therefore that if man be given laws which harmonize with the dictates of nature and of his heart he will cease to be unhappy and corrupt.” PeopleIfsMenBelieveHumansHeartMadeCareActionLawSpiritOrderGivenI BelieveSocialBornLibertyElementsVictimVariousCeaseUnhappyMiserableHuman SpiritImplicitSocial OrderInsidiousArrangingLibertine Author:Louis Antoine de Saint-Just

“Nothing can be sadder or more profound than to see a thousand things for the first and last time. To journey is to be born and die each minute...All the elements of life are in constant flight from us, with darkness and clarity intermingled, the vision and the eclipse; we look and hasten, reaching out our hands to clutch; every happening is a bend in the road...and suddenly we have grown old. We have a sense of shock and gathering darkness; ahead is a black doorway; the life that bore us is a flagging horse, and a veiled stranger is waiting in the shadows to unharness us.” FirstsLooksHandsLastsDiesWaitingBlackBornVisionDarknessJourneyMinutesThousandElementsHappeningsShadowHorseConstantProfoundStrangerFlightClarityReachingShockReach OutBoresLast TimeGatheringDoorwaysEclipseClutchFirsts And LastsBends In The RoadElements Of Life Author:Victor Hugo
