B. F. Skinner Quotes
In the world at large we seldom vote for a principle or a given state of affairs. We vote for a man who pretends to believe in that principle or promises to achieve that state. We don't want a man, we want a condition of peace and plenty-- or, it may be, war and want-- but we must vote for a man.

I stood willingly and gladly in the characters of everything - other people, trees, clouds.
