Summary

This quote humorously compares the frustrating aspects of paying taxes with playing golf. It suggests that despite one's efforts to earn a high income and aim for financial success (symbolized by driving for the green), eventually they end up in a less desirable position (the "hole" of owing taxes or facing financial burdens). The analogy implies that both taxes and golf can be unpredictable and can sometimes lead to disappointing outcomes despite one's best intentions or hard work.

A totalitarian society which succeeded in perpetuating itself would probably set us a schizophrenic system of thought, in which the laws of common sense held good in everyday life and in certain exact sciences, but could be disregarded by the politician, the historian, and the sociologist. Already there are countless people who would think it scandalous to falsify a scientific text-book, but would see nothing wrong in falsifying an historical fact.
