"We must declare ourselves, become known; allow the world to discover this subterranean life of ours which connects kings and farm boys, artists and clerks. Let them see that the important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself." "Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so."
