From The Man Who Was Thursday "Moderate strength is shown in violence; supreme strength is shown in levity." "The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all." "There is your precious order, that lean, iron lamp, ugly and barren; and there is anarchy, rich, living, reproducing itself - there is anarchy, splendid in green and gold." "I don't often have the luck to have a dream like this. It is new to me for a nightmare to lead to a lobster. It is commonly the other way."
