Josephine Herbst quotes:

The law is not abstract, impartially arbitrating between conflicting social classes; it is a tool in the hands of those who govern.

No one ever understood disaster until it came.

The world comes second hand - fifth hand - to us and the illusion that it is fresh because it is shown as a picture of an actual place or is given as a 'true account' by some reporter who claims to have been 'there' divides man into incalculable parts without any true center.
