We Live At A Time When Man

The Masses Think That Is Is Easy To Flee From Reality, When It Is The Most Difficult Thing In The World.

Man Has To Live With The Body And Soul Which Have Fallen To Him By Chance.

To Be Surprised, To Wonder, Is To Begin To Understand. This Is The Sport, The Luxury, Special To The Intellectual Man.

Living Is A Constant Process Of Deciding What We Are Going To Do.

[t]he Mass-man Sees In The State An Anonymous Power, And Feeling Himself, Like It, Anonymous, He Believes That The State Is Something Of His Own. Suppose That In The Public Life Of A Country Some Difficulty, Conflict, Or Problem Presents Itself, The Mass-man Will Tend To Demand That The State Intervene Immediately And Undertake A Solution Directly With Its Immense And Unassailable Resources. This Is The Gravest Danger That To-day Threatens Civilisation: State Intervention; The Absorption Of All Spontaneous Social Effort By The State.
