Quotes by Josh Hanson (?)

“Maybe men really were just too stupid to live, but the fact was that it did work. I wanted more, and she knew it, and she was going to lead me right down into the depths, just like I wanted. “What do I need to do?”
― Josh Hanson, King's Hill

“Then pretty soon Sherburn sort of laughed; not the pleasant kind, but the kind that makes you feel like when you are eating bread that's got sand in it.”

“Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name! Every fool, from king to policeman, from the flatheaded parson to the visionless dabbler in science, presumes to speak authoritatively of human nature. The greater the mental charlatan, the more definite his insistence on the wickedness and weaknesses of human nature. Yet, how can any one speak of it today, with every soul in a prison, with every heart fettered, wounded, and maimed?”
― Emma Goldman, Anarchism and Other Essays
