More From John Dos Passos

Marxism Has Not Only Failed To Promote Human Freedom, It Has Failed To Produce Food.

The Creation Of A World View Is The Work Of A Generation Rather Than Of An Individual, But We Each Of Us, For Better Or For Worse, Add Our Brick To The Edifice.

People Don't Choose Their Careers; They Are Engulfed By Them.

Time Has An Undertaking Establishment On Every Block And Drives His Coffin Nails Faster Than The Steam Riveters Rivet Or The Stenographers Type Or The Tickers Tick Out Fours And Eights And Dollar Signs And Ciphers.

But What's The Good Of Freedom? What Can You Do With It? What One Wants Is To Live Well And Have A Beautiful House And Be Respected By People.
