Summary

This quote, often attributed to poet Sean O'Casey, suggests that life is metaphorically like a theatrical production. It implies that the majority of individuals navigate through their lives without adequate preparation or guidance, highlighting the lack of readiness and the spontaneous nature of human existence. Just as actors may stumble upon unfamiliar scenes or lines on stage, people often find themselves facing unexpected challenges and obstacles for which they feel unprepared. The quote invites reflection on the notion that life's unpredictability is akin to an ongoing, unscripted performance where individuals must adapt and learn on the go.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Religion is the opium of the people. He believed that, that

Religion is the opium of the people. He believed that, that dyspeptic little joint-keeper. Yes, and music is the opium of the people. Old mount-to-the-head hadn't thought of that. And now economics is the opium of the people; along with patriotism the opium of the people in Italy and Germany. What about sexual intercourse; was that an opium of the people? Of some of the people. Of some of the best of the people. But drink was a sovereign opium of the people, oh, an excellent opium. Although some prefer the radio, another opium of the people, a cheap one he had just been using. Along with these went gambling, an opium of the people if there ever was one, one of the oldest. Ambition was another, an opium of the people along with a belief in any new form of government. What you wanted was the minimum of government, always less government. Liberty, what we believed in, now the name of a MacFadden publication. We believed in that although they had not found a new name for it yet. But what was the real one? What was the real, the actual, opium of the people? He knew it very well. It was gone just a little way around the corner in that well-lighted part of his mind that was there after two or more drinks in the evening; that he knew was there (it was not really there of course). What was it? He knew very well. What was it? Of course; bread was the opium of the people. Would he remember that and would it make sense in the daylight? Bread is the opium of the people.
