“It is a mistake to think of these men as visionary dreamers, playing around at Philadelphia with abstract conceptions of political theory, pulling a whole scheme of government out of the air like a rabbit out of a hat. True, many of them had read and studied enough about the science of politics to put the average statesman of today to shame. But political science was to them an extremely practical topic of discussion, dealing with the extremely practical business of running a government--not, as today, a branch of higher learning reserved for the use of graduate students.” ThinkingMenEnoughWholeUseGovernmentRunningTodayPoliticalMistakeAirStudentsTheoryHigherShameAveragePracticalsDiscussionAbstractBranchesHatsConceptionDreamerGraduatesSchemesPullingTopicsRabbitsPolitical ScienceVisionariesStatesmenReservedPhiladelphiaTrue ManGraduate StudentsPlaying AroundPolitical TheoryHigher Learning Book:55 Men, Story of Constitution Source: 55 Men, Story of Constitution
“When a vision begins to form everything changes, including the air around me. I seem no longer to be in the same atmosphere. I feel a peacefulness and a love that are indescribable. I stand alone, and nothing worldly can touch me.

“I had a hole in my voice. It's an area in the voice where it's air. It's just - there's no - it's just very airy. And my classical teachers were just so frustrated with me because I would have these deep, low notes that were really strong, and the higher register was strong, but right in that middle area, it was really hard.
