“I don’t feel sure about doing good in any way now; everything seems like going on a mission to a people whose language I don’t know.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment.”
