I Figure I've Done What

The Culture Of The United States Has Flooded The World. It's The Inevitable Result Of A Powerful Culture, Art. We've Got An Instinctive Touch When It Comes To The Popular Mind Because We've Had No Aristocracy. It Is A Democratic Country. And We Know Without Knowing It, Without Bothering To Understand It, How To Reach Ordinary People, Sometimes With The Most Vulgar, Worthless Junk On The Face Of The Earth, But We Know How To Do It [laughter].

The Closer A Man Approaches Tragedy The More Intense Is His Concentration Of Emotion Upon The Fixed Point Of His Commitment, Which Is To Say The Closer He Approaches What In Life We Call Fanaticism.

Pop, I'm Nothing! I'm Nothing, Pop. Can't You Understand That? There's No Spite In It Any More. I'm Just What I Am, That's All.

I Believe In Work. If Somebody Doesn't Create Something, However Small It May Be, He Gets Sick. An Awful Lot Of People Feel That They're Treading Water -- That If They Vanished In Smoke, It Wouldn't Mean Anything At All In This World. And That's A Despairing And Destructive Feeling. It'll Kill You.

Peace. It Is A Providence, And No Great Change; We Are Only What We Always Were, But Naked Now.
