"Words never fail. We hear them, we read them, they enter into the mind and become part of us for as long as we live. Who speaks reason to his fellow men bestows it upon them.  Who mouths inanity disorders thought for all who listen. There must be some minimum allowable dose of inanity beyond which the mind cannot remain reasonable. Irrationality, like buried chemical waste, sooner or later must seep into all the tissues of thought."
