Vachel Lindsay

To live in mankind is far more than to live in a name.

You can't crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them.

Never be a cynic even a gentle one. Never help out a sneer even at the devil.

Authors and uncaptured criminals are the only people free from routine.

I am unjust, but I can strive for justice. My life's unkind, but I can vote for kindness. I, the unloving, say life should be lovely. I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.
