"And I knew that the Spirit that had gone forth to shape the world and make it live was still alive in it. I just had no doubt.

Already there are countless people who would think it scandalous to falsify a scientific text-book, but would see nothing wrong in falsifying an historical fact."
Politics
"The thing that strikes me more and more, is the extraordinary viciousness and dishonesty of political controversy in our time. I don't mean merely that controversies are acrimonious. They ought to be that when they are on serious subjects.
