Benjamin De Casseres

American Journalist and Author

"The art of survival is the art of lying to yourself heroically, continuously, creatively. The senses lie to the mind; the mind lies to the senses. The truth-seeker is a liar; he is hunting for happiness, not truth."

"Progress is nothing but the victory of laughter over dogma."
