Something
to think about
"I cannot help fearing
that men may reach a point where they look on every new
theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble,
every social advance as a first step toward revolution,
and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all for
fear of being carried off their feet.
The prospect really does frighten me... that they will
prefer tamely to follow the course of their destiny
rather than make a sudden energetic effort to set things
right."
-Alex
