�I have got no further than this; Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test.�

�All the world�s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts.�
- William Shakespeare (1564 � 1616), English dramatist, poet and actor: �As You Like It�
�I got disappointed in human nature as well and gave it up because I found it too much like my own.�
- J. P. Donleavy (b. 1926), American-born Irish writer and dramatist: �Fairy Tales of New York�, 1961.
�No straight thing can ever be formed from timber as crooked as that from which humanity is made.�
