My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour.... I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets d...epend only on moods: specifically, the mood of the men in the pinstripes, also known as the Boys on the Street. When the Boys are in a good mood, the market thrives; when they get scared or sullen, it is time for each one of us to look into the retail apple business.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

A man who sees another man on the street corner with only a stump for an arm will be so shocked the first time he'll give him sixp...ence. But the second time it'll only be a threepenny bit. And if he sees him a third time, he'll have him cold-bloodedly handed over to the police.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The literature of the poor, the feelings of the child, the philosophy of the street, the meaning of household life, are the topics... of the time. It is a great stride.

But then they danced down the street like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who inter...est me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
For thousands of years human beings have communicated with one another first in the language of dress. Long before I am near enoug...h to talk to you on the street, in a meeting, or at a party, you announce your sex, age, and class to me through what you are wearing--and very possibly give me important information (or misinformation) as to your occupation, origin, personality, opinions, tastes, sexual desires, and current mood. I may not be able to put what I observe into words, but I register the information unconsciously; and you simultaneously do the same for me. By the time we meet and converse we have already spoken to each other in an older and more universal tongue.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
