“Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men....

—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“Lincoln becomes the American solar myth, the chief butt of American credulity and sentimentality.”

One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
