I used to have a copy of the Randolph Bourne Reader, but I didn’t go through the whole thing. My hunch, though, is that he wouldn’t have said something like that.

I question whether he, who was such an idealist, would have said this. If you are familiar enough with his writings, I’d appreciate your pointing me to the source, if there is one. The problem with all the quotation web sites is that they quote from one another, rarely provide sources, and tend to attribute a saying to the last person who used it, rather than to the originator.

Thanks

(Just asking myself that—don’t answer it)

When I started, I didn’t have much for innocence, purity, etc., but I was angry as hell.
