“The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease?”

“Anyone who has a child today should train him to be either a physicist or a ballet dancer. Then he’ll escape.”
