Everything around us has changed so fast - personal relations, working conditions, habits. Even our state of mind is in turmoil."

"Horror causes men to clench their fists, and in horror men join together."

"The strong are strengthened by reverses; the trouble is that the true meaning of events scores next to nothing in the match we play with men. Appearances decide our gains or losses and the points are trumpery. And a mere semblance of defeat may hopelessly checkmate us."
