Clarence Darrow
To say that the universe was here last year, or millions of years ago, does not explain its origin. This is still a mystery. As to the question of the origin of things, man can only wonder and doubt and guess.
Clarence Darrow
Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the brain and soul of man.
Clarence Darrow
