Who said “Nature is indifferent to the survival of the human species, including Americans.”?

“Hunger, love, pain, fear are some of those inner forces which rule the individual's instinct for self preservation.”

“The notion that one will not survive a particular catastrophe is, in general terms, a comfort since it is equivalent to abolishing the catastrophe.”

“Survival, with honor, that outmoded and all-important word, is as difficult as ever and as all-important to a writer. Those who do not last are always more beloved since no one has to see them in their long, dull, unrelenting, no-quarter-given-and-no-quarter-received, fights that they make to do something as they believe it should be done before they die. Those who die or quit early and easy and with every good reason are preferred because they are understandable and human. Failure and well-disguised cowardice are more human and more beloved.”

“If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.”

“All I'm trying to do is not join my ancestral spirits just yet.”

“A hungry man is not a free man.”

“Laws are never as effective as habits.”

“We have confused the free with the free and easy.”

“Nothing so dates a man as to decry the younger generation.”

“A free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.”

“All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.”
