Thomas Jefferson Quotes

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . .

It expresses the knowledge of a supreme egoism, in which laws wither away. Every page must explode, either by profound heavy seriousness, the whirlwind, poetic frenzy, the new, the eternal, the crushing joke, enthusiasm for principles, or by the way in which it is printed. On the one hand a tottering world in flight, betrothed to the... Tristan Tzara
