“Mankinds common instinct for reality ... has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, lifes supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a mans frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.”
—William James (18421910)
“You are our surety to immortal life,
Gods hatred of the universal stain
The heritage, O Fear, of ancient strife
Compounded with the tissue of the vein.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
