• In studying the history of the human mind one is impressed again and again by the fact that its growth keeps pace with a widening range of consciousness, and that each step forward is an extremely painful and laborious achievement.

• The Englishman's strong point is his vigorous insularity; that of the American his power of adaptation. Each of these attitudes has its perils.
