"'Thou shalt not get found out' is not one of God's commandments; and no man can be saved by trying to keep it." -- Leonard Bacon
Leonard Bacon was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet, translator, and literary critic. He graduated from Yale University in 1909, and subsequently taught at University of California, Berkeley until his retirement in 1923.

He won the 1940 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his satiric poems Sunderland Capture.
"If that form of government, that system of social order is not wrong - if those laws of the Southern States, by virtue of which slavery exists there, and is what it is, are not wrong - nothing is wrong.""Technique! The very word is like a shriek of outraged Art. It is the idiot name given to effort by those who are too weak, too weary, or too dull to play the game. The mighty have no theory of technique."
