The Thought Criminal

"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable.

I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE
