“The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.”

“During our twenties...we act toward the new adulthood the way sociologists tell us new waves of immigrants acted on becoming Americans: we adopt the host culture’s values in an exaggerated and rigid fashion until we can rethink them and make them our own.
