"Never love a wild thing, Mr. Bell,â€™ Holly advised him. â€˜That was Docâ€™s mistake. He was always lugging home wild things. A hawk with a hurt wing. One time it was a full-grown bobcat with a broken leg. But you canâ€™t give your heart to a wild thing; the more you do, the stronger they get. Until theyâ€™re strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. Thatâ€™s how youâ€™ll end up Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. Youâ€™ll end up looking at the sky."

-- Truman Capote

Socialism would kill enterprise; Liberalism would rescue enterprise from the trammels of privilege and preference. Socialism assails the preeminence of the individual; Liberalism seeks ... to build up a minimum standard for the mass. Socialism exalts the rule; Liberalism exalts the man. Socialism attacks capitalism; Liberalism attacks monopoly.”
“Every song falls short of the glory of what a song could be. That's why the urge is there to start again and yet again. Often it's the fault of rhyme. I've discovered a hundred times that there just aren't enough rhymes to say what I wanted to say, so I said something else instead. Sometimes it was a better thing, but the thing I meant to say went unsaid. So there's an opening for another song.”
“Form is the host; content is the virus.”
