“I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government other than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual.”

“When I was a boy, I had a baseball team of my own. We played on a vacant lot between Ninetieth and Ninety-second streets. I had a little menagerie of my own, some pigeons, guinea pigs, and so on. On Saturday mornings, I had to take my music lesson. Then the members of my team used to come see my menagerie.”

“We're kind of a guinea pig generation.”
