The reward of the general is not a bigger tent, but command. The goal of all civilization, all religious thought, and all that sort of thing is simply to have a good time. But man gets so solemn over the process that he forgets the end. The right to be a cussed fool Is safe from all devices human, It's common (ez a gin'I rule) To every critter born of woman. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul. Treat people as if they were what they should be, and you help them become what they are capable of becoming. A great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up.
