“It is only a short step from exaggerating what we can find in the world to exaggerating our power to remake the world.

But a world we can shape to our will ... is a shapeless world.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Where are Elmer, Herman, Bert, Tom and Charley,
The weak of will, the strong of arm, the clown, the boozer, the
fighter?
All, all, are sleeping on the hill.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“...if I perish, I perish.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Esther 4:16.
