"And revolutions always mean the breakdown of old authority."
Authority
"Within my own life, I read all the beloved novels by lamps of vegetable oil; I saw the Standard Oil invading my own village, I saw gas lamps in the Chinese shops in Shanghai; and I saw their elimination by electric lights."
Life
"After learning the language and culture of the Chinese people, these Jesuits began to establish contacts with the young intellectuals of the country."
People
"In the year 1915 a series of trivial incidents led some Chinese students in Cornell University to take up the question of reforming the Chinese language."

Thought
"No student of Chinese history can say that the Chinese are incapable of religious experience, even when judged by the standards of medieval Europe or pious India."
