Random Quote
By speech first, but far more by writing, man has been able to put something of himself beyond death. In tradition and in books an integral part of the individual persists, for it can influence the minds and actions of other people in different places and at different times: a row of black marks on a page can move a man to tears, though the bones of him that wrote it are long ago crumbled to dust.
-- Julian Huxley

I'm re-reading Atlas Shrugged, and just a few pages into it, I find this: When [Eddie Willers] came to Fifth Avenue, he kept his eyes on the windows of the stores he passed. There was nothing he needed or wished to buy but he liked to see the display of goods, any goods, objects made by men, to be used by men. He enjoyed the sight of a prosperous street... What does it say that our political class - starting with this president - can't stand up for and set an expectation of success and achievement in America? Why play figurehead to the derision of some for prosperity and wealth?I look forward to the day when our politicians enjoy the sight of a prosperous street, take pride in it, and again showcase the successful as an example to all. |
