Perhaps I May Record Here My Protest Against The Efforts, So Often Made, To Shield Children And Young People From All That Has To Do With Death And Sorrow, To Give Them A Good Time At All Hazards On The Assumption That The Ills Of Life Will Come Soon Enough. Young People Themselves Often Resent This Attitude On The Part Of Their Elders; They Feel Set Aside And Belittled As If They Were Denied The Common Human Experiences.

I Have Come To Believe ... That The Stage May Do More Than Teach, That Much Of Our Current Moral Instruction Will Not Endure The Test Of Being Cast Into A Lifelike Mold, And When Presented In Dramatic Form Will Reveal Itself As Platitudinous And Effete. That Which May Have Sounded Like Righteous Teaching When It Was Remote And Wordy, Will Be Challenged Afresh When It Is Obliged To Simulate Life Itself.

Hundreds Of Poor Laboring Men And Women Are Being Thrown Into Jails And Police Stations Because Of Their Political Beliefs. In Fact, An Attempt Is Being Made To Deport An Entire Political Party.

I Am Not One Of Those Who Believe - Broadly Speaking - That Women Are Better Than Men. We Have Not Wrecked Railroads, Nor Corrupted Legislatures, Nor Done Many Unholy Things That Men Have Done; But Then We Must Remember That We Have Not Had The Chance.

The Supreme Religious Test Of Our Social Order Is The Hideous Commerce Of Prostitution.
