“We'd get sick on too many cookies, but ever so much sicker on no cookies at all.” ― Sinclair Lewis “I think perhaps we want a more conscious life.” ― Sinclair Lewis “It is impossible to discourage the real writers - they don't give a damn what you say, they're going to write.” ― Sinclair Lewis

“I think perhaps we want a more conscious life. We're tired of drudging and sleeping and dying. We're tired of seeing just a few people able to be individualists. We're tired of always deferring hope till the next generation. We're tired of hearing politicians and priests and cautious reformers... coax us, 'Be calm! Be patient! Wait! We have the plans for a Utopia already made; just wiser than you.' For ten thousand years they've said that. We want our Utopia now — and we're going to try our hands at it.”
― Sinclair Lewis, Main Street
