    Now it is done. Now the story ends. And there is no way to tell it. The art of fiction is dead. Reality has strangled invention. Only the utterly impossible, the inexpressibly fantastic, can ever be plausible again.

    "The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are."~ H. L. Mencken

    Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It’s because volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no pay for a long time.

    On two occasions I have been asked,—"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
    Propose to an Englishman any principle, or any instrument, however admirable, and you will observe that the whole effort of the English mind is directed to find a difficulty, a defect, or an impossibility in it. If you speak to him of a machine for peeling a potato, he will pronounce it impossible: if you peel a potato with it before his eyes, he will declare it useless, because it will not slice a pineapple. Impart the same principle or show the same machine to an American or to one of our Colonists, and you will observe that the whole effort of his mind is to find some new application of the principle, some new use for the instrument.

    You accuse me of being a madman. What right have you to judge what is sane and what is not?
    I have fought with the shadows on the edge of your vision.
    I have seen the faces that laugh at you in your nightmares.
    I have smelt the foetid breath that issues from the mouth of hell itself.
    I have heard the silent voices that make your spine tingle with dread.
    I have entered the realms between worlds where there is no time or place.
    I have clashed with creatures the sight of which would sear your soul to the core.
    I have bested horrors that chill with a gaze and tempt unreasoning terror.
    I have faced death eye to eye and blade to blade.
    I have stared into the eyes of insanity and met their all-consuming stare.
    I have done all of this for you, for your protection, and the guarantee of a future for mankind.
    And yet you accuse me of being a madman, you who have never had your sanity tested so sorely.
    What right have you to call me a heretic and a blasphemer, who have not heard the whisper of dark gods in your ear?
    You are weak. Vulnerable. Human in your frailty. I am strong and yet still you judge me.
    And yet you still judge me for my sins, you who art most sinful to the heart?
    Only the insane have strength enough to prosper; only those that prosper truly judge what is sane.
