out rather than to turn inward; to accept rather than to reject. In so

light over dark is the means by which we pursue progress.”

“And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath
the wheels of routine—and before we know it our lives are
gone. What does a man need—really need? A few pounds

accomplishment. That’s all—in the material sense, and we know it.”

“There was only our bodies, born to live and die on terms decided by the bodies
that had lived and died before us. If he could be said to have located
