“It is argued that because they believed thoroughly in a just, moral God they could put their faith there and let the smaller securities take care of themselves. But I think that because they trusted themselves and respected themselves as individuals, because they know beyond doubt that they were valuable and potentially moral units - because of this they could give God their own courage and dignity and then receive it back.” — John Steinbeck
