Man Pines To Live But Cannot Endure

Nothing In Our Times Has Become So Unattractive As Virtue.

When One Realizes That His Life Is Worthless He Either Commits Suicide Or Travels.

No Country Has Suffered So Much From The Ruins Of War While Being At Peace As The American.

Hardly A Book Of Human Worth, Be It Heaven's Own Secret, Is Honestly Placed Before The Reader; It Is Either Shunned, Given A Periclean Funeral Oration In A Hundred And Fifty Words, Or Interred In The Potter's Field Of The Newspapers Back Pages.

We Are A Most Solitary People, And We Live, Repelled By One Another, In The Gray, Outcast Cities Of Cain.
