    We wonder that the sinner does not confess his sin.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The birth of the new constitutes a crisis, and its mastery calls for a crude and simple cast of mind—the mind of a fighter—in which the virtues of tribal cohesion and fierceness and infantile credulity and malleability are paramount.
