William H Gass Quotes

Bad Luck Alone Does Not Embitter Us That Badly . . . Nor Does The Feeling That Our Affairs Might Have Been Better Managed Move Us Out Of Range Of Ordinary Disappointment; It Is When We Recognize That The Loss Has Been Caused In Great Part By Others; That It Needn't Have Happened; That There Is An Enemy Out There Who Has Stolen Our Loaf, Soured Our Wine, Infected Our Book Of Splendid Verse With Filthy Rhymes; Then We Are Filled With Resentment And Would Hang The Villains From That Bough We Would Have Lounged In Liquorous Love Beneath Had The Tree Not Been Cut Down By Greedy And Dim-witted Loggers In The Pay Of The Lumber Interests. Watch Out, Then, Watch Out For Us, Be On Your Guard, Look Sharp, Both Ways, When We Learn--we, In Any Numbers--when We Find Who Is Forcing Us--wife, Children, Commies, Fat Cats, Jews--to Give Up Life In Order To Survive. It Is This Condition In Men That Makes Them Ideal Candidates For The Party Of The Disappointed People.
