“If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means—from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“Therefore awake! make haste, I say,
And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
—Unknown. Sister, Awake! (L. 9–12)
“The obvious self-satisfaction of the individual with his own form stimulates imitation and gradually produces the form of the many—that is, fashion. Through fashion, the many strive towards and even achieve that very same comforting self-satisfaction with their form.—When you consider how many reasons each person has for anxiety and timid self-concealment, and how three-quarters of his energy and goodwill can be paralyzed and rendered fruitless by these reasons, you have to be very grateful to fashion to the extent that it sets that three-quarters free and communicates self-confidence and a mutual and cheerful cooperation to those who realize that they are all bound by its law. Even foolish laws confer freedom and emotional tranquility so long as enough people submit to them.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Lincoln becomes the American solar myth, the chief butt of American credulity and sentimentality.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
