For The First Time In American History,

What Ordinary Men Are Directly Aware Of And What They Try To Do Are Bounded By The Private Orbits In Which They Live; Their Visions And Their Powers Are Limited.

You Can Never Really Understand An Individual Unless You Also Understand The Society,historical Time Period In Which They Live,personal Troubles, And Social Issues

Nobody Talks More Of Free Enterprise And Competition And Of The Best Man Winning Than The Man Who Inherited His Father's Store Or Farm.

The Point Is That We Are Among Those Who Cannot Get Their Mouths Around All The Little Yeses That Add Up To Tacit Acceptance Of A World Run By Crackpot Realists And Subject To Blind Drift. And That, You See, Is Something To Which We Do Belong; We Belong To Those Who Are Still Capable Of Personally Rejecting. Our Minds Are Not Yet Captive.

Power Is Not Of A Man. Wealth Does Not Center In The Person Of The Wealthy. Celebrity Is Not Inherent In Any Personality. To Be Celebrated, To Be Wealthy, To Have Power Requires Access To Major Institutions.
