| �Journalism is literature in a hurry.� �Our inequality materializes our upper classes, vulgarizes our middle class, brutalizes our lower class.� �Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying something.� �The difficulty for a democracy is, how to find and keep high ideals. The individuals who compose it are� persons who need to follow an ideal, not to set one; and one ideal of greatness, high feeling and fine culture, which an aristocracy once supplied to them, they lose by the very fact of ceasing to be a lower order and becoming a democracy.� �This strange disease of modern life with its brisk hurry and divided aims.� |
